I do email newsletters for several organizations including these two I’ve just completed for utah.com.
I’m pleased with how they turned out.
Utah.com is the state’s travel/tourism website, and my employer, so I spend a good part of my life writing, shooting photos and developing other content for that website.
The snowmobile newsletter is designed to sell people on the idea of snowmobiling here. The goal is to get some of our ski tourists to consider a snowmobile adventure, since our snowmobile trails are every bit as good as our famous ski runs. It will be interesting to see what response we get.
Every month I write a newsletter to help people plan national park trips. For December I described the fun, relatively easy hike to the Confluence Overlook in Canyonlands. It is a great winter hike because the trail stays on top the mesa where you have sunshine.
I love to hike around Moab/Canyonlands/Arches, and hiking conditions are ideal in the spring and fall. But the area gets crowded during those prime months. More and more, I find myself going there in winter because I enjoy the solitude. I’ve hiked on many a sunny day in January when the air temperature reached 50 and it was downright pleasant.
Of course, there are also stormy and cold days. You just have to watch the weather and take advantage of the mild spells.
I’ve got one more big project to finish and then maybe I’ll have time to write about my recent horseback adventure in Monument Valley. It was great fun.
