Founder’s Message
After taking a year hiatus from a previous 10 years of working and volunteering for a women’s outdoor outreach program (the NWTF’s Women in the Outdoors program) I was inspired to start a new life experience, Annie Oaks Outdoors. During those years I was blessed to locate some of Utah’s best and sometimes unknown outdoor destinations. I find it hard to beat a weekend in Utah’s backcountry and received great pleasure in introducing and sharing these experiences with others.
Although most of these “bucket list” adventures are for women only, a couple times a year Annie Oaks Outdoors hosts couples retreats for the outdoor adventure in you and yours. In the past, we have conquered the rapids of the Colorado River near Moab, explored 80 miles of the infamous Paiute Trail while riding ATV’s, stepped back in time to ride 14 miles on horseback along the Butch Cassidy Trail near Bryce Canyon and I’m just getting started!
There are no special requirements to become an “Annie Oaks Adventurer”, just love of the outdoors. People from all walks of life can come together to enjoy themselves and meet new people. For many it is their time, for some the only time, they can get together with friends and loved ones for outdoor recreation.
These adventures are convenient, economical, and FUN! We (Scrub and I) take care of almost everything for you. While attending an Annie Oaks Outdoors retreat you will experience professional service from our hosts, great food, breath taking scenery, and adventures second to none. I am very excited about all the fun adventurers planned for 2010….Tracy Jarvis, AOO Founder
