Four Corners Adventures
Blanding, UT
As a tour guide for Four Corners Adventures I took people around scenic southeastern Utah through canyons, over the mountains, and to popular archaeological sites. Tours were from just a few hours to several days. I was expected to be communicable, positive, and pleasant as well as knowledgable, humorous, and informative.
I also took several trips to record the experience, the area, and made videos and postcards for the company.

Wild Rivers Expeditions
Bluff, UT
At Wild Rivers Expeditions I floated down the San Juan River as a "swamper" or assistant guide. I helped make lunches, and give information about the area to the guests. There was a lot of loading and unloading, of rafts and gear. I frequently drove shuttles and dropped or picked up guests from trips. The second half of the summer I spent mostly working on marketing materials for the company.
