Depending on which excursion you book, former NFL player Bobby Massie may even be your personal chef.

Former NFL player Bobby Massie and journalist Angel Massie are co-founders of Wanderland Outdoors, a new Colorado guiding service that focuses on inclusivity and cultural competency. Long before former NFL offensive tackle Bobby Massie was added to the Denver Broncos roster, he and wife, Angel, visited Colorado to enjoy the great outdoors. During football bye weeks, the couple often hired a guide to help them explore the state’s best and unsung fly-fishing waters.

“The outdoors has no color ‘til the fall, when the leaves start changing and the grass starts turning brown. But the outdoors is for everyone,” said Bobby, an avid fisherman and hunter. “Some people try to make you feel left out when you shouldn’t.”“That’s something we wanted to highlight because there’s a lot of great outdoorsmen and outdoorswomen in this community and a lot of them don’t get the attention that they should,” Bobby said.

“One thing about fishing, you can’t make the fish bite and you can’t make the sun shine, so while you’re spending that block of time with these people, at least the conversation can be enjoyable,” Bobby said. “That was our mindset in choosing the guides.” During her time working as a journalist on the East Coast, Angel hosted similar events for groups of young, professional women. But it wasn’t until the pandemic that she integrated mindfulness techniques such as yoga and meditation into her daily life. In 2022, she achieved a Mindful Outdoor Guide certification from Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health, and now she aims to share the catharsis she feels from nature with others.
