What could you write if you gave yourself time to slow down?
A story you’ve wanted to tell. A memory worth saving. A few words inspired by somewhere beautiful.
Join Tour West for our Writers Retreat in Arches National Park and on the Colorado River through Canyonlands National Park—with featured writer Sean Prentiss!
Sean is the award-winning author of Finding Abbey, winner of the National Outdoor Book Award, and a professor at Norwich University. A former trail crew member in Arches and Canyonlands, he brings a personal connection to the landscapes we’ll explore.
Through daily writing prompts, storytelling, and nature-inspired reflection, Sean will help you explore your creativity and develop your own voice. You don’t have to be a published author—just bring a notebook, your curiosity, and a willingness to begin.
Come for the river, the scenery, and the stories. See what finds its way onto your page.
