Guest Spotlight
Our featured guest for this episode is Shaun Saunders of Fremont River Guides in Torrey, Utah. While not originally from the area, he purposely settled between some of Utah’s greatest national parks and loves to show others around the area.
A great time to go visit is during Spring Break. It’s great for families, hiking, photography, jeep tours, kayaking, and more!
Shawn shares with us the importance of having guides, especially in places like slot canyons, and his list of things NOT to save money on: food and the best guides.
