Utah Photographer & Tour Guide
The West, seen and captured
Welcome to Road Trippin’ with Bob
I’m Bob Grove, a professional independent tour guide with more than 32 years of experience guiding travelers through the American West, specializing in the Southwest, Four-Corners Region, and Mountain West. From iconic national parks to lesser-known backroads, I help people experience the West beyond the overlooks through history, storytelling, photography, and a deep respect for the land.
With a background spanning hospitality, airlines, ski industry, tourism consulting, travel media, and commercial photography, I bring both practical expertise and creative perspective to every journey. Whether I’m guiding a tour, scouting a road trip, or capturing the perfect light, my goal is always the same: meaningful, memorable travel.
– Tours, tales, and timeless views –
There’s a lot waiting for you in our territory. Frothy rivers, red rock mesas, deep canyons, quakies shivering in the breeze and mountain peaks rising into the sky. You can find more scenery here per mile than practically any other place on earth, from the rugged beauty of the towering Tetons to the sandstone sentinels of Zion National Park. Names like Jackson Hole and Old Faithful, Moab, Bryce Canyon, and the Grand Canyon likely paint vivid pictures in your mind. They’re all just a few hours’ drive from anywhere in my backyard.
The Roads Less Traveled
It’s the Journey, Not the Destination!
I take the roads less traveled. It’s not just a cliche but a way of life for a guide and photographer who loves to take road trips to beautiful and interesting places.
What are roads less traveled? They are the journey and not simply a route that takes you from point A to point B in the least amount of time as possible. It’s a road with fascinating points of interest, adventure, history, small towns, unique shops and restaurants, oddities, and more. These are the roads I like to explore.
