About Your Guide

Planned by someone who actually goes

I'm Nate — founder and lead advisor, based in Park City, Utah. I ride, climb, row and walk the kind of trips I plan, which is why the itineraries I build account for shuttle timing, permit lotteries and the hot meal you actually want at the end of a long day.

The short version

The Wasatch has been my backyard for years — 400+ miles of singletrack out the door, Little Cottonwood granite an hour away, and desert towers a half day south. That home base turned into a habit of planning trips for friends: which shuttle to book, which outfitter actually shows up, which lodge lets you roll a muddy bike inside.

That habit became a business. As a certified travel advisor affiliated with Main Street Travel Agency, I now book the whole picture — flights, lodging, cruises, guides, gear, permits and meals — for travelers who want an active trip without spending forty hours researching it.

The range runs from a free cruise or resort booking to a fully curated multi-week expedition to me flying out and hosting your group on the ground. Same standard either way: you show up, and it works.

What that means for your trip

We Ride What We Book

Trips scoped by trail difficulty, shuttle logistics and bike-friendly lodging — not just a hotel near a trailhead.

Climbing & Alpine Logistics

Crags, seasons, guide services, gear rental and approach beta — sport weekends to hut-to-hut objectives.

River & Permit Know-How

Permits, outfitter selection and launch windows for the Green, Salmon, Colorado and beyond.

Backcountry to Basecamp

Backpacking routes, resupply, and the comfortable lodge on either end.
