MY FIRST TRIP EVER WITH EXPLORER CHICKS!!! I don’t know where to begin! The Utah 8 day 5 Park trip was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. From meeting with our guides Laura & Kaylin in the morning of Day 1 right up until they dropped me off at the airport on Day 8 these 2 incredible women took care of me ! From the food , driving, lodging, hikes and everything in between these women are the absolute best! I couldn’t have completed Arches without them getting me through the fins and supporting me every step of the way! They got me through Little Wildhorse Canyon with ease. These women deserve an award for their courage, dedication and determination to help us all push past any challenges that might have come up. I loved every minute of this trip! I will be going on another trip with Explorer Chick as soon as I can find some time off in my schedule! If you are looking for something where you are safe, taken care of and an adventure check out Explorer Chick ! Explorer Chick Adventure Co. I think we all had the time of our lives! At the end of the day, it’s not the mountains we climbed that matter most, but the people who helped us reach the top. Laura, Kaylin & all the women on the trip are those people for me. Much gratitude 🙏 Nikki Rineholt

My first trip with Explorer Chicks to Zion and Bryce was everything I could’ve hoped for! Our guides Mary and Lauren were exceptional! They were extremely knowledgeable, very kind and continued to make our journey easy and enjoyable throughout. They made sure that our whole group was not rushing so we could really be present and experience all the beauty around us. Plus the planning of the trip was flawless from start to finish. I made connections with amazing women and I can’t wait until my next trip with Explorer Chicks!!

I did the Red River Gorge backpacking trip and had the best time. Our guide, Kathryn, truly knew her stuff and was well prepared, so I felt totally safe. It poured rain the entire time and I still had a blast! Learned a ton too. I highly recommend this trip!

My trip was to Zion and Bryce Canyon. OMG, what a great adventure. Our guides, Mary and Brooke were so awesome. This was my second Explorer Chick Trip, and it's the only way to go, for me. The company takes care of everything, all I had to do was Show Up!!It really doesn't get any better than this. If you're thinking about taking a trip with these gals, don't hesitate. You will be impressed, I surely am. Sharon Eder

My 4-day Zion and Bryce Canyon trip with Explorer Chick was over-the-top amazing. Each day brought a new adventure, made even better by our fabulous guides, Mary and Brooke. They were awesome! Fun, encouraging, and super invested in making sure we all had a great experience. (I mean, who carries a watermelon and cutting board on a trail climbing 1,100 feet in two miles just to surprise us with a special lunch treat?!?) I signed up for the promise of fun, adventure, and a sense of empowerment, and this trip delivered on all three. An unexpected bonus was getting to know 11 other incredible women spanning nearly 40 years in age. We started out as strangers, but four days of laughter, encouragement, and cheering each other on turned into a joyous celebration of sisterhood. It was such a cool reminder that friendship and adventure have no age limit. This was my second trip with Explorer Chick and I'm already dreaming of where I want to go next. I’d absolutely recommend this company to anyone looking for a fun adventure with a great group of women. Both my experiences have been exceptional.
