Hello! My name is Garth, and I’ve been a passionate nature enthusiast since I was young. I’ve spent most of my life exploring the beauty of the outdoors, hiking through stunning landscapes, and camping under starry skies. My deep connection with nature drives my passion for sharing these incredible experiences with others. When I’m not guiding tours, you’ll likely find me hiking new trails, studying Native American & indigenous cultures, camping & creating personal development videos. I believe that nature provides an unmatched sense of peace, and I love helping others connect with the earth in meaningful ways. As a Tour Guide & avid hiker, I’ve been fortunate enough to guide other travellers through some of the most breathtaking areas of Utah and beyond. My journey as a guide began out of a love for the land and a desire to share the magic of our region with people from all walks of life. I offer a variety of nature tours, but my favourite experiences to lead are those that provide an immersion into the beautiful nature that allows people to truly feel connected to the environment. From the stunning red rock formations and hidden mountain trails, to Antelope Island, there’s so much to explore! My tours in Southern & Northern Utah, particularly near Antelope Island, are a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage. I bring a deep respect for the land and share traditional Native American knowledge throughout my tours. Whether you’re marvelling at the wide-open desert skies or learning about the sacred significance of certain landscapes, I strive to offer a truly immersive experience. I aim to help visitors appreciate the richness of this region, from its geological wonders to its cultural depth. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful day of nature or a deeper connection to the history and culture of the land, I’m here to guide you. Together, we’ll create lasting memories while exploring the incredible natural wonders of Utah. I look forward to helping you discover the beauty and spirit of this land.

Overview of your Moab tour

Join me for a breathtaking tour to both Arches & Canyonlands National Parks! No other place in the world has the extraordinary geology of Redrock and Sandstone. This 2 day bespoke tour beginning and ending in Salt Lake City is simply amazing. I'll adapt it to your ability level so you get the best possible experience for your group. I'll be sharing about the varying geology of the Arches that formed this incredible place as well as more than half of the world's natural arches. I'll also discuss the dramatic canyons that formed over millions of years through Canyonlands National Park. You’ll get the chance to see Delicate Arch, Balanced Rock, Double O Arches, Mesa Arch, Window Arch & the Island in the Sky Viewpoint. You’ll even have the chance to book an extra excursion such as River Rafting, Canyoneering, Hot Air Ballooning or a 4x4 Jeep Excursion. Arches National Park is 5 miles away from Moab, Utah where we'll be staying in a lodging of your choice.
