Welcome and Getting Started

"If I can provide the information that gets just one person off the couch 
and out the door, then I will have been a success."

I fell in love with Utah shortly after moving here in 2002.  With the central location of Utah County as my jumping off point, I've explored and discovered some of the most amazing creations. 

I love the diversity of locations and attractions from Northern Utah to Southern Utah!  Whether you're sunning on Bear Lake, hiking and biking on the many mountain trails, or standing in awe of the beautiful red rock vistas there is something here for everyone.  

Close to home there is a plethora of activity as well.  We live in a unique culture where children's activities are often offered for free or close to free.  Every town has it's own week-long festival and celebration offering unique opportunities to get out and enjoy being part of a community.  And if there's an activity you've itching to try, I can almost guarantee you can find it here somewhere!

I'll be posting regularly the activities that my family and I have in the works.  We're always looking for adventuresome companions and would love to have you come along! 

And, please, feel free to share your experiences and favorite activities!  Where do you hike and bike?  Have you found a great picnic park or know of an activity coming up that everyone should know about?  In the future I will be looking for contributing writers and would love to share your Utah photos and videos.  Send your information anytime to:
