Playing outdoors has been a way of life for Neil from a very young age. He would explore as far as he could – first the backyard, then the neighborhood, soon the Salt Lake Valley, and finally the magnificent state of Utah. “I wonder where that trail goes,” has been the simple catalyst that has propelled Neil on to many memorable adventures. Neil is a born and raised native of Utah who spends his time in the desert landscapes both as a guide and in his free time. It is easy to feel the passion that he has for these ruggedly beautiful places while touring with him.
