Guide
Blake Powell
Hi I’m Blake and I’ve been guiding for 3 years now! I was born in Rockford Illinois, but have spent most of my life here in Salt Lake City so I consider this my home :). Humanity, skateboarding, and cooking food are my passions
Making genuine connections with people from all around the world, I love learning from others just as much as I like to teach! :)
Why I love being a guide
Making people laugh and feel at home while showing them the incredible nature and wildlife that Utah has to offer during their visit
My guiding style
You can expect marvelous service and to laugh and learn so bring your notebooks because I love telling fun facts about Utah, wildlife, and myself that may potentially lead you to a future win on a game show
Favorite places
My all time favorite places to explore…
- Valley of Fire State Park (amazing pictographs, beautiful red rock, only 45 min north of Las Vegas)
- Astoria Oregon, (Goonies was filmed here, amazing beaches, and delicious food from the ocean)
- Goshen, Utah (LDS film studio, amazing fishing, and hiking)
Fun facts
- I have 2 sons ages 6 and 8
- I have flown in a stunt plane as a passenger and hit 7 g’s
- Paddle boarding is my favorite mid summer activity and ice fishing in the winter time
