About Us
Utah truly is the "Best of the West." There are so many things to see, so many environments to explore, and so many unparalleled experiences awaiting. Our outfitter organizations are committed to giving you an unforgettable experience, whether it is a 2-hour tour or a 7-day expedition! National parks, biking adventures, wilderness areas, 4X4 roads, wild and scenic river stretches, hiking trails, and canyoneering routes are waiting for you in Utah.
Our Mission
Utah Guides and Outfitters strives to support our members in delivering the highest quality outdoor experiences to their customers, to speak as a collective voice on behalf of our members, and to promote and practice stewardship of the wild places in which we operate.
