At the Utah Outdoor Association, we hold two simple beliefs.
There is no better place in the U.S. with great accessibility and diversity to explore the outdoors than Utah.
When the outdoor industry works together and supports each other, business is better for everyone.
It’s because of these beliefs that we’re working to bring outdoor companies and organizations across the state together to solve the unique challenges the industry faces and create a thriving outdoor ecosystem for years to come.

Utah has some amazing mountain bike shops and terrain! If you’ve never tried it but are looking to get into it, Guthrie, Go Ride, and White Pine Touring are a few of the great shops around to help you get started.
@guthrie_bikes , having been founded in the 1888, is one of the oldest shops in AMERICA (not just Utah)!!!! That’s how you know they’re incredibly knowledgeable and stand by the bikes they sell and rent. Just look at that storefront.
@goridedotcom has locations in Salt Lake and Draper and have been “off-road obsessed” for over 20 years!
@white_pine_touring in Park City has guided tours and rentals to help you check out the sport without making too much of a commitment. Enjoy the picture of their store front during that late season powder day.
All the shops also have safety gear and accessories, another key part of mountain biking.

To wrap up this month focused on climbing come hangout and climb with @slaqueerclimbers at @thefrontclimbing tonight!! There’s live music and beer provided by @redrockbrewing and Covid vaccinations (not provided by Red Rock)
Salt Lake Area Queer Climbers is a group bringing together LGBQTIA+ climbers across Salt Lake City and the Wasatch Front. They provide a more inclusive environment by empowering and bringing members of the community together.
The Salt Lake Climbers Alliance is also a great resource for finding a community in climbing. They protect the outdoor climbing access and have committees you can join!!

An important part of any sport is the gear, especially in climbing. Having the proper rope, shoes, harness, mat, chalk bags, and shoes can be the difference between success and failure.
Here in Utah we are lucky to have businesses that provide all that gear! Look to @backcountry , @blackdiamond , or @petzl_official all world renowned companies for some excellent safety gear. Check out @jfrancis_designs , a local craftsman, for his handmade chalk bags. And to ensure you stay warm, can transport all your gear and look good doing it, @cotopaxi has tons of bags and clothing options for you.
