Join us to ride the wave of an unforgettable evening! The premiere of Where the Hell Am I on April 24th at Star Hall in Moab! This isn't just a film—it's a powerful journey of resilience, purpose, and the fight for our rivers.

With special guests Heather Hansman, Anthony Mancuso, yours truly and the man himself John Weisheit.
Be part of the action as we gather to support John Weisheit’s nonprofit, Living Rivers, in his mission as Colorado Riverkeeper. Together, we can defend and restore the breathtaking public lands and rivers of the upper Colorado River Basin.

We're helping lead the charge, filing lawsuits to shut down the Echo Canyon Resort on Kane Creek. Moab's growth must be thoughtful and careful proceeding into a future with diminishing water supply and limited resources.

“We need to show respect to the Colorado River and our water supplies in times of prolonged drought, water scarcity, flood events and in land use”, said Living Rivers Executive Director John Weisheit.

We need your support to sustain this legal fight and protecting the river canyons across the Colorado River Basin.
