My name is AJ Richards. I am a southern Utah native a father of 3 daughters and I have spent the majority of my life exploring the southern Utah area and helping my family move cattle on the Arizona Strip.

Places like hidden petroglyphs, hard to find lookouts with magnificent views, and the history of the people who settled there, which happen to be my ancestors. I am not your average tour guide.
