Outdoor Trip Log

Guided Trips
These are trips were I have been in a position of leadership. Most of them have
been for the Outdoor Recreation Program at the University of Utah. With these trips
I have done most or all of the planning, advertising, shopping, logistics, briefing and
debriefing, gear preparation, evaluation and risk assessment. I am involved from
start to finish to make sure the trip goes well.
