About Us

A Life on the Road

For 32 years I’ve guided travelers through the American West while also operating a tourism public relations and marketing business. What began as a love for travel and exploration, and a way to supplement my income in the early days of my agency grew into a passion shaped by open road, remote landscapes, and stories that give each place meaning. I’ve guided thousands of guests through rural towns, national parks, byways, and backroads of the West always aiming to go beyond the overlook to unveil the nooks and crannies of this scenic and adventurous land. For me, great travel isn’t about rushing from stop to stop; it’s about understanding the land, the history, and the people who shaped it.

Experience That Runs Deep

My background spans the full spectrum of the travel industry including airlines, hospitality, rental car, ski industry, travel agencies, tourism marketing, and travel media. That behind-the-scenes experience gives me a practical, well-rounded perspective and helps me anticipate what makes a trip smooth, meaningful, and memorable.

Over the years, I’ve also shared travel stories and destination insights through television and radio as a media contributor and even hosted my own outdoor radio show, but my favorite place to tell stories is still out in the field, standing on the land itself. In 2025 I retired from the marketing agency to pursue my true passion of guiding and photography!

Photography & Visual Storytelling

I’m a passionate photographer with a background in commercial photography, specializing in tourism promotions for county tourism offices and travel businesses. Photography has trained me to notice light, texture, and detail, and that same eye comes along on every tour whether it’s a quiet sunrise, a dramatic canyon wall, or a moment most people would otherwise drive right past. One of the bonuses for my groups is that I take photos while on the tour, which I share with the group after the tour has ended.

Road Trippin’ with Bob

Road Trippin’ with Bob is about slowing down, taking the scenic route, and truly connecting with the West. It’s about curiosity, conversation, and discovering places in a way that feels personal and unhurried.

If you love wide-open spaces, good stories, and traveling with a guide who knows the roads and respects the land, you’re in the right place.
