Amanda Meyers
Amanda was a Navy brat and grew up all over the U.S. She moved to Utah for college 11 years ago and became so smitten with Utah that she couldn’t imagine living anywhere else.
Amanda didn’t grow up active in the outdoors. Although she appreciated the beauty of places, she never wanted to work hard to get to them. It wasn’t until she moved to Utah and discovered the mind-blowing places we have out west that she began to embrace the challenge of getting to beautiful places.
Hiking later helped heal Amanda. After Amanda got divorced, left the LDS church, and shed some of her old beliefs, getting outdoors helped her feel more like herself and freer than before.
These days, Amanda has 2 dogs that she loves to spend time with and take hiking. Otherwise, photography and travel are Amanda’s major passions. She’s traveled to 20 countries and still travels to parts of Utah monthly. Amanda lives for travel and adventure.
When Amanda isn’t traveling, she can be found at Texas Instruments, which pays for her bills and her adventures.
Amanda’s Favorite Hike: “Heck, I really couldn’t say. To narrow it down to southern UT, I think Buckskin Gulch and Angels Landing are really far up there on the list though.
Amanda’s Favorite Wine or Drink: “I’m more of a beer and cocktail girl – Moscow Mules will always be one of my faves.”
Amanda’s Favorite Hiking / Backpacking Gear: “My camera for sure! lol but on the gear list after that would be my Jetboil hands down. Hot drinks anywhere and everywhere. I love it!”
