Nature's Examples of Resilience, Accepting Challenge, and Adapting to Change Via Alpine Backpacking in the Snowy Mountains

Southern Utah is home to some of the most well known national parks and monuments, and each has its own special magic and unique attractions: Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, and Capitol Reef National Parks and Goblin Valley State Park. Day hikes are a great way to explore this magical area and on our "tour du parks" you will gain a new appreciation of the diversity and beauty of southern Utah's geology.

Requires aerobic conditioning for at least 40-50 minutes 4-5 times a week. Additional endurance exercise (e.g. going for a 2 hour hike once a week) and/or strength training is usually required. There are typically 5 to 8 hours of activity on most days.

Intro to Lightweight Backpacking on the AT

On this wilderness backpacking trip we travel along one of the Appalachian Trail's most interesting sections, from Dicky Gap to Elk Garden, at the height of the rhododendron and azaleas in bloom. This is an ideal backpacking trip for novices: our moderate mileage leaves time for you to learn everything you need to know to pursue backpacking on your own. Or if you haven't been backpacking for awhile, join us to learn about the lightweight revolution. Our lightweight approach should keep your pack under 30-pounds.

Rafting and Hiking Cataract Canyon

Explore the most remote stretches of Canyonlands National Park from a raft as you lounge, paddle, float and careen down the Colorado river. Equal parts relaxation and thrill, this trip has it all! Ancient cultural ruins, white water rapids, breathtaking views, easy strolls and optional strenuous hikes through the magnificent red rock canyons of this iconic southwest landscape.

Sedona and the Grand Canyon

Arizona's canyon country is justly famous. From the cliff side dwellings of an ancient pueblo people, and the colorful chasm known as the Grand Canyon, to the red rocks of Sedona, it is a never-ending feast for the eyes. The best way to see it is on foot, and we'll combine lots of hiking with time to relax and absorb the beauty of the surroundings as we explore these three very different areas. If you have been wanting a more intimate view of the region than most people ever get, please join us for seven days of hiking, eating, relaxing, and laughing.

It was a well planned, perfectly paced trip. This was my first all women's trip and I found it to be good energy and lots of fun. My goal was to see Wales, I got to see even more than I had anticipated.
