About Us
Welcome to Inspired by the Outdoors—thank you for taking the time to learn more about us!
Our story began back in 1998 after a memorable weekend spent with family and friends exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Utah. Fueled by a love for nature and the emerging technology of the late '90s, we saw an opportunity. The internet was starting to bring the world closer together, and we thought, “Why not create a space online to share outdoor adventures, hidden gems, and must-see destinations in Utah?”
From that spark, we launched our first website, and over the years, Utah Outdoor Activities has grown into one of the largest online resources for all things related to the Utah outdoors. Helping families plan their next adventure isn't just what we do, it’s our passion.
Our Mission
While our outdoor adventures have always pushed us to explore nature, our love for the outdoors doesn’t stop there. We believe in bringing the beauty and tranquility of the outdoors into our homes. That’s why Inspired by the Outdoors was created. It was a natural progression from helping families enjoy their next outdoor adventure to bringing the outdoors into their homes. Inspired by the Outdoors is home to a curated selection of outdoor-themed decor, gifts, and accessories. Whether you're decorating a cozy cabin or just adding a touch of nature to your living space, our collection is designed to help you feel closer to the great outdoors every day.
What Guides Us
At Inspired by the Outdoors, we believe in quality, craftsmanship, and authenticity. That’s why we’ve partnered with top brands and companies who share our passion for nature. Many of our products are handmade here in the USA and shipped directly from trusted manufacturers. Each piece reflects our dedication to bringing you decor that will inspire your indoor spaces just as much as exploring the outdoors inspires our souls.
