Escape into the russet vistas and sublime arches of this 4-day women’s multisport adventure in stunning Moab, Utah. This is your golden ticket to lace up those hiking boots and leave real life behind as we explore both Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. Marvel at the colossal swoops of sandstone that frame the breathtaking landscapes like a picture. Summon your inner mountain goat as you scramble up slick rock and skip across sand dunes. Escape the crowds to discover an otherworldly quiet no meditation app can inspire. Slip into a realm that seems plucked from another dimension, brimming with rock dunes, fins, and hidden slot canyons. Suit up, tie in, and prepare to rappel over 100 feet to the secret canyon floor below. Then do it all over again (AND AGAIN) on a beginner-friendly canyoneering adventure. You’ll scramble, downclimb, and maybe even wade through gorgeous, remote slot canyons. End the day with a stunning sunset hike to the most iconic spot in all of Utah. Show off those sick carpool skills as you climb into the driver’s seat of an off-road vehicle. Let the sand slap your face and the wind tangle your hair as you become one with ancient desert lore. Unearth ancient relics and dinosaur bones while navigating tunnels, ravines, hills, and arches. We’ll explore the unique town of Moab and check out the funky shops, food truck park, and restaurants all tucked in between two National Parks. Every day is a new adventure followed by the promise of the best night’s sleep of your life. Your unforgettable Moab Multisport Weekend starts with a breezy rendezvous at an airport hotel in Salt Lake City followed by a 3 night stay in our private Explorer Chick House. Hop in the SHE-nanigan Shuttle and let your guides handle the rest. Photos Itinerary Expand All Days Day 1 - Hiking Canyonlands National Park Today begins at 7am at our Rendezvous Hotel in Salt Lake City, UT. We’ve got A LOT to do today, so be sure to eat a hearty breakfast before meeting up with the group. You’ll be greeted by your Explorer Chick Guides in the morning with a quick orientation to follow. (No trust falls, we promise.) We’ll then hop into the SHE-nanigan Shuttle for the 4-hour private transfer to Moab and the parks. We won’t waste any time as we shimmy into our daypacks and slather on chapstick to explore three gorgeous trails at Canyonlands National Park. Our trek includes thoughtfully placed cairns, breathtaking desert views, and a hot debate about the mystery of Upheaval Dome. Once we’re good and sweaty, we’ll unpack and relax at our Explorer Chick House. This oasis is home for the next 4 days with views of rocky mesas and the colorful desert right outside your windows. Did we mention there’s a pool? Hiking Distance: 5.4 miles Elevation Gain: 165’ Hiking Time: 3 hours Transfer Time: 4.5 Hours Accommodation: Explorer Chick House Meals: L-D Day 2 - Slot Canyons, Rappelling and an Arches National Park Sunset After we wolf down breakfast, we’ll fill our water bottles and head out to explore some hidden gem slot canyons. Slowly carved by wind and water, these canyons are best explored by scrambling, down-climbing, rappelling, and wading. In just six hours, you’ll strut your stuff over a plethora of rock scrambles and tackle a trio of rappels, with the biggest one soaring at around 130 feet. Getting spicy pits? This route is perfect for beginners with no experience. Just show up willing to go ALL IN and let gravity do the hard work. Dinosaur tracks, a sweeping secluded arch, and plenty of nature’s own obstacle courses pepper your path through this desert adventure. Watch the sunlight disco-dance on the red rock walls and listen to the cheers of your fellow Explorer Chicks echoing through the canyons. Soak it all in as we enjoy our trail lunch with ridiculous views. Shake off that red dirt and grab your headlamp. We’re off to watch the sun drop it like it’s hot behind the iconic Delicate Arch. She’s been the undisputed symbol of Utah since she showed up on their license plates in 1996, and now you’ll get to see her up close and personal! Rappelling/Canyoneering: 5 miles. 650′ gain. Canyoneering Time: 6-7 hours Hiking Distance: 2.9 miles. 629′ gain.

After another delicious breakfast, we’ll head into town to gear up for our off-road odyssey. You and your fellow Explorer Chicks are going to master Moab’s slickrock trails and epic rock formations in full-on adventurer style. Slide into the driver’s seat of a UTV. Get those goggles and helmets on, fasten that seatbelt, and rev your engine. We’ll drive into the mesmerizing red rock landscape like the ultimate desert entourage, discovering artifacts left by early indigenous people, walking across the top of a sandstone arch, stumbling upon dinosaur bones, and becoming a part of Moab’s history. After a day of slinging dust, we’ll head back to the house for a delicious meal prepared by your guides. Your evening is yours! You can explore Moab and check out all the funky shops and tasty snacks, hang out at the Explorer Chick House, or chill in the pool.

Strut your stuff as you hike across sand dunes, beneath sprawling arches, and gaze through the biggest natural windows you’ve ever seen. Snap a few final glamor shots to take this stunning desert beauty back home with you. After our hikes, we’ll share sandy hugs and pile in for a heartfelt van karaoke session on the journey back to Salt Lake City. It’s time to harmonize and reminisce.

Our guide Christina was wonderful. She was very familiar with the area and was able to switch the days of certain hikes to accommodate weather delays at the start. The trip included a great group of women which made it even more enjoyable. Trekking poles were really useful for our long hike in the Needles district. Our guide had a few extras for those that didn’t bring them. I was able to get laundry done on the third day, so I could have packed less clothes.Jennifer L. ★★★★★ Just finished an amazing trip to Moab and Arches with Christina and an awesome group of 9 other women. This was my first trip solo and all the women were so supportive of each other. We went places I could never have the courage to do alone.

Will definitely be booking another trip soon.Kaylee M. ★★★★★ This was my first solo trip and it was an unforgettable experience. Our guides Katie and Nicole had everything planned to a T.
