My 30 year career has focused on international travel – that is where my heart has let me until recently when my daughter and I decided to do a research trip to Utah.  This episode shines a light on two key destinations that are completely different and equally magical:  Moab and Sundance.  My guests are Mike Ballard, tour guide and founder of Big Iron Tour Co. and Donna Campbell, licensed massage therapist for Sundance Resort in Provo.
