Jon, the creator of Back Country Adventure Gear and Back Country Adventure Tours and Zipline Utah grew up in the heart of Southern Utah in a small town called Orderville. Orderville is surrounded by the many parks and remote areas which the tours offered on this site ride through. Jon spent his childhood first on three wheelers then on motorcyles exploring the rugged country around him with his Dad. During the last six years Jon also started racing dirt bikes in the USRA desert race series. In his second year as a novice he was the overall points leader. In the amateur field he was the leader in his class and top five over all. Jon now races in the expert class. One of Jon's crowning dirt bike moments was racing in the Baja 1000. With his years of experience dirt bike riding and knowledge of the backcountry, Jon makes an ideal instructor and guide into some of the most remote areas of Utah. For those of you who love landscapes, the Colorado Plateau is one of the most beautiful places in the world.
