On this unique, adventurous experience you will get a a birds eye view of The Great Salt Lake that puts into perspective the scale and beauty of this top Utah attraction. What would take a full day to see by car, we will squeeze into an action packed 40 minute flight. The GSL is an iconic landmark and you will see views that have been constantly evolving since it’s creation during the Bonneville flood over 14,500 years ago! One of the benefits of visiting the lake by air is we have no negative ecological impact. The sensitive eco-system is able to grow and evolve as if we were never there. You will see many of the animals that call the Great Salt Lake home such as antelope, buffalo, deer, coyote, and even eagles. Upon meeting at the airport I will escort you to our trusty steed, a vintage Cessna Bush-plane straight out of Alaska. The airplane we will be using is one of the greatest tools for exploring the local area and you are guaranteed a flight you will never forget. After a quick safety briefing we will get in the plane, buckle up, and begin our adventure. Half of the flight will be up high with expansive views, and the other half will be "low and slow" where you will feel like we are in a flying car. With four seats there is room for the pilot and three passengers each flight.

Walk downtown Salt Lake stopping at the best coffee shops, cafes and local hotspots for the best downtown has to offer.

In total we will spend about 3 to 4 hours together visiting some of the most well-known sites in the city such as Temple Square, Gallivan Plaza (one of the sites of the 2002 Olympic games) and Library Square as well as some local favorites such as the Pie Hole, and Ken Sanders Rare Books. Stopping at coffee shops, cafes, and locations based on your interests and food preferences. The best part about traveling with a local is that I can adjust to help create the best experience for the group.

We'll start with an orientation & go over some safety protocols as you'll be handling hand tools. Then you'll have a chance to look through samples of finished earrings, pendants, and rings while we talk about what you want to make. You can choose to follow a template or you can create something totally new. I'll be with you, guiding and teaching as you take a raw piece of metal and shape it into a gorgeous piece of jewelry. When you walk away you'll have a ring, but you'll also have an experience with a story to tell. People will compliment your jewelry and you'll be able to say, "Really? Thanks! I made it." Or, "My husband made it for me!" There's something magical about shaping building jewelry with a special person in mind. Other things to note Come prepared to get your hands dirty and dress appropriately. Bring your glasses.

Guests will have the opportunity to pet and feed the alpacas, take one for a walk around the yard, and take lots of pictures. Come with all of your alpaca questions! Next we will move on to the chicken habitat and everyone will have the opportunity to observe, pet, and feed them. Please feel free to take lots of pictures! Questions and pictures are encouraged!

Before leaving, we will head into the little shop to see what we do with the alpaca fiber after the yearly shearing, which is the most common question of all!

Learn how to ski in a didactic and progressive way! My plan is to make sure that the person can progress in skiing through my experience and support, always in a safe and entertaining environment for those who are learning. I want the class to be fun but also that the person can feel completely safe and in control of their skis, so they can enjoy the mountain from a different perspective. From little kids to advanced skiers who want to improve their technique or just ski with a guide trough the resort, I want everyone to enjoy a great moment with the wonderful snow of the Wasatch Mountains ❄️❄️

In the late '60s The Devil's Brigade was filmed up at Movie Rocks. My father was an extra in the film. It is a beautiful lookout point that depicted the Swiss Alps in the film. It is a fun hike that can be challenging, but worth it. The wildlife and shrubbery along with the energy and peace of the rocks makes for a magical experience. We typically do a meditation at the top.

This is a hands-on class where guests will be taking metal and shaping it into jewelry. I’ll provide enough silver and/or copper for each guest to make a ring or a set of earrings. We’ll spend a short time going over safety and then you’ll have to decide what you want to make. I’ll provide examples of already made jewelry to use as templates if guests need ideas. By the end of the session each guest will have a piece of handmade jewelry to take home with them. Some date night couples like to make rings for each other instead of making jewelry for themselves. Other things to note Bring your eyeglasses. Come prepared to get your hands dirty and dress appropriately.

We’ll spend a short time going over safety and then I will guide you through the process of making your own ring. By the end of the session each guest will have a piece of handmade jewelry to take home with them. Other things to note: I can also do private events and parties, message me to organize.
