Crafting
adventure
from passion
Lost Goat was created by two Colorado locals, Joey Carrara and Will Yermal who have dedicated themselves to a life of adventure. Living lives as mountain guides and spending free time traveling the world with family and friends, we have seen every side of adventure travel, including the dirt, and glamour. Our adventures are inspired by our own wide-ranging experiences from self-guided hardcore mountain trips to high-end international cultural experiences, through which we have learned where the real value of travel is hidden.
Through exploring the world and working in the travel industry of Colorado. We started to see a level of service and unique travel style offered abroad, that was missing in Colorado. We aim to combine what we have learned from 50 countries visited, many summits climbed, and many hotels and tents slept in to provide fulfilling adventure experiences for people, at the end of which you get home, sit on your couch, and think, wow did that really just happen?!

Founder & Guide
Will Yermal
Will caught the climbing bug at a young age while on a family getaway to Acadia National Park in Maine. He quickly took his newfound passion to the local climbing gym in Massachusetts which led him into the competitive climbing scene through his high school years. While attending the University of Colorado Boulder, Will was able to continue to advance his climbing and skiing skills while also working at a local climbing gym. Since graduating Will has committed himself to the art of guiding and the pursuit of adventure, believing that the outdoors is the best classroom. Will’s desire is to share his passion of the outdoors and adventure with others who are inspired to see what nature has to offer. In his 28 years of life Will has visited 30 countries so far and is motivated to try to visit as many more as possible. He believes that the way you learn about the world is by seeing it.
