What we’re about
Our Ethos:
At Utah Outdoors, we passionately believe that the great outdoors is for everyone. Hiking isn't just about conquering summits; it's about forging connections, building community, and rejuvenating the spirit. Our mission is to offer a welcoming environment where individuals of all backgrounds and skill levels can come together, share experiences, and collectively enrich their lives through the beauty of Utah's outdoors.
We believe that through our shared experiences, we can inspire one another to venture beyond our comfort zones, build resilience, and create lasting memories. Our goal is not just to hike, but to elevate lives, promote well-being, and build a community bound by respect, enthusiasm, and the shared thrill of discovery.

This event is a collaboration between the Utah Outdoors group and our Slow Hikers Unite Utah community on Facebook. We're also excited to extend our invitation to members of Davis County Outdoors.
Meet Bryant, the event organizer. Feel free to visit his Facebook profile to familiarize yourself with the person leading the hike if that makes you more comfortable.
Safety Essentials:
To ensure everyone's safety, please bring headlamps as we might return in the dark. We recommend rechargeable Black Diamond headlamps such as the Astro 300-R (recommended), or the Storm 500-R which is the brighter choice. Trekking poles can help you maintain you balance, many of us use them regularly.

- Paddle: Provo River DeltaProvo River Delta, Provo, UT
This event showcases the Provo River Delta, the culmination of a multi-year project to restore the lower Provo River interface with Utah Lake, revive habitat for the June Sucker (an endangered fish), and to provide recreational opportunities. Our itinerary is to paddle around exploring this new flat-water estuary introducing participants to the delta. This event has no fixed agenda other than start time, so everyone is free to come and go as their schedules allow. All shallow draft kayaks, canoes and board will work. The project features a large paved parking lot and cement boat ramp. For information on the delta go www.provoriverdelta.us. Meet Elliott in the parking area off Boat Harbor Drive at 10AM.
Trailhead Information: In Provo drive Center Street west of I-15 1.5-miles to Lakeview Parkway and turn north. Drive north about one-half mile to Boat Harbor Drive and turn left. Drive Boat Harbor Drive west and after a couple hundred yards a road leads off to the north to the Provo River Delta parking area. We’ll meet there near the boat ramp.
