Summer Internship 2014 for EDGE

     During the summer of 2014  I went to Blanding and Bluff, Utah as an intern for Four Corners Adventures and Wild Rivers Expeditions.

                                  

     It was a blast!

     Both companies are owned by Jared and Spring Berrett, who moved to the area about 8 years ago. Jared was a professor at BYU and moved to Blanding because he wanted to be closer to the outdoors. He started Four Corners Adventures in 2012 as a land tours company, then added river trips when he purchased Wild Rivers Expeditions in 2013.

I had the pleasure of doing everything from river rafting and mountain biking,

to taking pictures of the beautiful landscape to create promotional material for the company.

River Guiding

The lead guide and manager of the companies is Dallin Tait. He and his wife Cassi, and their son Charlie live on-site. I floated down the river with Dallin the most.

I also spent time with Greg

and Marcus, the other two main guides who were on the river almost every day.

I helped promote the business in several ways, including this ad, which I created for a hotel advertisement directory Jared bought in Moab.

Natural Bridges National Monument

 

As and added bonus, my wife was able to accompany me on several occasions, like the time we hiked through Natural Bridges National Monument, to take pictures for Jared.

Since I have experience in photography, Jared had me spend a lot of time taking pictures of different areas.
