Gentry Hale

Gentry Hale is a freelance travel writer and environmental journalist based in Salt Lake City, Utah. She specializes in adventure and luxury travel, outdoor recreation, land management, wildlife, and conservation. She loves stories that bridge high-end experiences with the raw beauty of the natural world. Her work has appeared in National Geographic, Business Insider, Islands, Bugle Magazine, Trails Magazine, Snowboarder Magazine, and many more. Before freelancing full-time, Gentry worked as an editor for Bugle Magazine, Byline Magazine and Montana PBS, and has produced copy and branded content for travel companies, resorts, and publications around the world. From boutique hotels in the Maldives and castle stays in Scotland to volcano treks in Guatemala and backcountry snowboarding in Utah, Gentry successfully blends a dirtbag lifestyle with a love of luxury. She’s just as comfortable covered in trail dust as she is sipping champagne after the summit, and she writes about both with equal enthusiasm.
