Moab Booty Buster

Bust your booty on the best trails in Canyonlands and Arches National Parks. We squeeze a week of activity into a long weekend on this 4 day women’s hiking trip to Moab, Utah.

Your weekend has been carefully curated and “in the field” tested by your Explorer Chick team! We’ve spent YEARS playing in this outdoor mecca in the desert. You’ll squeeze in some serious ground over the course of a long weekend working on those hiker booty gains.

Explore six arches in one hiking trail to discover the namesake of Arches National Park. Witness the power of wind as you trek among iconic red rock formations where over 2,000 arches have been documented. Descend down layers of red, pink, brown, and white sandstone to enjoy a well-earned lunch on the White Rim of the Colorado River.

Wander through red rock slot canyons, among sandstone hoodoos, and across wind-eroded plains in the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park. Feel like you’re on a desert planet as you admire the vast and desolately beautiful landscapes.

Catch an unforgettable sunrise at Deadhorse Point State Park as you sip your coffee and munch on your breakfast. Next, gear up and hit the trail in Canyonlands to conquer the steepest trail in the park. (You’ve got this!)

You better believe we wouldn’t let you miss this! Your reward after a brief hike? One of the most famous geological structures in the world. Gaze in awe at some of Mama Nature’s best work before taking your turn to pose in the photo op sweet spot.

Every day, expect to be challenged by a new trail, and a new horizon, and new friends. Your thighs will sing every day as you walk a new hiking trail, admire a new desert horizon, and conquer a new national park!

Your heart will swoon every night as you kick off your dusty hiking boots, share bad jokes, and enjoy fresh-made meals in the Explorer Chick lodging. We’ll enjoy the occasional meal out and even squeeze in some time for you to meander and shop in the funky town of Moab. Your weekend of epic Moab hikes begins with an easy rendezvous at a Salt Lake City airport hotel—we take care of all the transportation from there!

(Phew, did we mention this is all going down in four days?!)

Itinerary

Expand All Days

Day 1 - Arches National Park

Your day begins at 7:00am at our Rendezvous Hotel located in Salt Lake City, UT. 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 an official orientation to follow. We’ll then hop into our Explorer Chick Private Transport for our 4 hour transfer to Moab and the surrounding National Parks.

We won’t waste any time today as throw on our daypacks and hit the trails in Arches National Park. You’ll wander your way between red sandstone walls and up massive rock formations seeking out the some of the 2,000 arches in Arches National Park. You’ll look up in awe at the longest arch in the United States, stand under picture perfect arches eroded through time by wind, and soak in your first taste of the Utah Desert Sun.

We’ll unpack at our Explorer Chick House for the next 4 days with views of the rocky mesas and red desert right out our windows.

Distance: 5 miles
Elevation Gain: 1,069’
Time: 3 – 3.5 hours

Accommodation: Explorer Chick House

Day 2 - Canyonlands National Park: Needles District

After a hearty breakfast, we’ll lace up our hiking boots and begin our weekend of Moab hikes by exploring one of Explorer Chick’s favorite trails in Canyonlands National Park. (Hint: You won’t find it listed as a “best” online!) We’ll navigate portions of desert slick rock where the trail is only marked by scattered cairns. We’ll hike among towering sandstone pillars that jut straight out of the ground. We’ll squeeze through a labyrinth of narrow slot canyons to view desert landscapes that seem to belong on a different planet. We’ll bask in the sun while eating our trail lunch with panoramic views. Along the trail keep your eyes peeled for hidden caves, lizards, pre-historic fossils, and your desert glamour shot.

On the way back to our Explorer Chick House, we’ll make a stop at one of the best preserved petroglyph sites in Utah. Hundreds of petroglyphs puzzle historians as they attempt to decipher stories from centuries ago.

Distance: 11.6 miles
Elevation Gain: 1,935′
Time: 6-7 hours

Accommodation: Explorer Chick House
Meals: B-L-D

Day 3 - Deadhorse and Canyonlands: Island in the Sky

We’ll have an extra early morning today, but it’ll be worth it as you view the sunrise from the edge of Dead Horse Point State Park. Munch on your breakfast and sip your coffee as the sun paints her colors across the sky.

After an unforgettable sunrise, we’ll head over to Canyonlands National Park to tackle the steepest trail in the park. We’ll descend over 1,500 feet in 2.7 miles to the canyon plateau below where we’ll be greeted by the best lunch spot in the park. Chances are, we’ll be the only ones around.

A challenging hike back to the canyon rim will take us up the switchbacks along the cliffside working those calves and earning our dinner! After a triumphant finish, we’ll hop back in our van and stop at the best vista viewpoints that the park has to offer. Sweaty, dirty, glamour shots are the best proof of a day well-spent!

Hiking Distance: 4.8 miles
Elevation Gain: 1,548′
Time: 4-5 hours

Accommodation: Explorer Chick House
Meals: B-L-D

Day 4 - Delicate Arch Hike

We’re saving the most iconic hike for last – Delicate Arch. This picturesque formation has graced Utah license plates since 1996, the Olympic Relay Torch passed under it in 2002, and now you will have the opportunity to stand under the prominent Delicate Arch to snap your glamor shot.

After our final hike, we’ll pack up and say goodbye to the desert as we drive the 4 hours back to Salt Lake City. The memories and red desert dirt on your hiking boots will stay with you for months after you return home.

More from Moab

Every Explorer Chick is going through something, that’s what makes us Explorers.

We’re not coasting through life. We’re always seeking the higher, harder, more scenic route.

This weekend, nine Explorer Chicks hiked, rappelled and took the wheel, delving deep into the Moab desert. Along the way we laughed, cried and sang together, and forged new friendships across all the stages of womanhood.

From dangling 100 feet in the air on our first free-hanging rappels to scream singing Pink Pony Club at the top of our lungs while whipping 4x4’s through deep sand, we cheered each other on with our whole hearts.

Because Explorer Chicks know, easy doesn’t change you.

Ten wild-hearted women, one epic Moab adventure. 🌵✨

From the moment we hit Canyonlands, the wind tried to steal our hats (literally over the cliff—but we got it back!) and our breath as we hiked those rocky trails like pros. 🤟

We nailed handstands (with a little expert help), chased waterfalls in the desert, and held on tight as our 4x4s conquered cliffs like champions. Just when we thought it couldn’t get better, the sun dipped behind Delicate Arch, painting the sky in colors we’ll never forget. 🌅

Oh, and rappelling down a 130-foot cliff? Yep, we did that too. 🧗‍♀️

Moab, you gave us thrills, chills, and memories we’ll be bragging about for ages. Until next time, we already miss you! ❤️

P.S. If you’re looking for a NYE date, we’ve got 4 spots left on our New Year’s Moab trip—the absolute best way to start 2025! 🎉 Comment “NYE” and I’ll send you the link!

We had an All-Star team of inspired and inspiring ladies for the last Moab trip of the spring season.

Everybody showed up looking for a reset from their individually busy lives and, led by a geologist-philosopher and a wilderness-therapist-rainmaker, by the end of the four hour van ride on day one, everybody had offered deep personal revelations spanning motherhood to divorce to widowhood.

The trip was a reminder that we are all going through something and that women rise and thrive when they get to open up to other women.

The summer heat slowed our roll on most of the hikes but we made the most of our time in the shade, asking each other lots of questions and sharing hard-earned insights from every stage and walk of life.

It wasn’t all serious—we all joined in some epic singalongs in the ShenaniVan, with “I Feel Like A Natural Woman” bringing out even the shyest voices in the group.

The sound of nine ladies belting their hearts out to Aretha Franklin might be my favorite guiding experience yet.”

💗Explorer Chick Mary’s Recap of the last Moab Trip of the season.

Catch you in Moab again this fall!

“I came home from the Moab trip with an empowerment afterglow that would scare both bears and men…

😬Per usual, I was worried I would be problematic, holding back the group, dragging everyone behind, and causing the rest of the group to mumble under their breath about this woman who “shouldn’t be here.”

💪In my terror, I trained by walking two miles five days a week with ankle weights. While I am relieved I trained (it came in REAL handy) I couldn’t have been more wrong about group dynamics.

💗Our guides, Christina and Katie, created a sense of camaraderie among us, and supported each of us in incredible ways that produced an experience that I suspect will not be forgotten by any of us.

👵🏼Our group included women in their 30’s to “almost* 70 and all body types. We laughed and snorted and sang and encouraged and overcame and we all probably thought we were going to die at one point or another- BUT WE DIDN’T.

If you are considering travel with Explorer Chick, just do it.” -Adelia

😍This trip was pure bliss! They were treated to gourmet breakfasts while watching the sunrise at Deadhorse Point State Park (talk about a way to start the day!), had breathtaking surprise stargazing sessions, and forged deep connections with a girl gang they never knew they needed.

🧡 They returned from Moab rejuvenated, connected, and bursting with desert wanderlust. Ready to take on the world anew, fueled by the magic of adventure and sisterhood.

🤔 So what exactly is a Slot Canyon?

👉They’re narrow, towering canyons, taller and deeper than they are wide. Over time, rushing water and flash floods carve narrow, winding passages through soft rock, often sandstone.

😬 Are they safe? Yes! With proper prep, gear, knowledge, and guides. Always check the local weather and flash flood risks before entering.

🥾 Slots are a blast to navigate! Crawl, rappel, and slide through a maze of rock passages.

😍 Slot canyons are a visual masterpiece! Light streams down, dancing in vibrant hues on the striped rock walls. Mesmerizing patterns unveil a breathtaking canvas of colors. (Perfect photogenic backgrounds for your new profile pic! 📸)

Discover the magic of slot canyons on these trips:
⭐️ Moab Hiking & National Parks: Explore a slot canyon in Canyonlands
⭐️ Moab Multisport: Rappel down a thrilling slot canyon
⭐️ Zion & Bryce Hiking & Glamping: Descend a slot canyon and hike the Narrows

In Her Words

I've been home a little over a week from the Moab and Arches National Parks Hiking Weekend, and I can't stop thinking about it! Our guides, Christina and Kayla, were amazing, and took great care of us. I'm a little (A LOT) scared of heights, and they literally held my hand at times. I ended the trip feeling accomplished and exhausted, in the best way, and made memories that will last for the rest of my life. I saw parts of the parks that I would have never seen on my own. If you're on the fence about signing up for an Explorer Chick trip, let this be your sign to hop off that fence and sign up now!

Amazing, amazing, amazing! Our trip leaders (AKA "Trail Moms") Kirstie and Christina, went above and beyond. Arches and Canyonlands were stunning backdrops for great, scenic hikes in the company of incredible women from around the country.
It was better than I could have hoped for and I'm SO glad Kirstie and Christina were our phenomenal guides (the meals, surprises, prepped for anything at all times, and their mixture of calm and joy made it all just THAT much better). I'd 100% go again.

I have now taken two trips with Explorer Chicks and have another coming up in August. Most recently I participated in the Moab multi-sport and had such an incredible experience. Each EC trip is carefully curated without missing a single detail. From the travel itself, the ample food and snacks, the logistics and fun add ins, our guides were so knowledgeable about the parks and geography, even the pickiest guest on our trip was vocally very satisfied. The condo accommodations were wonderful and very clean; did I mention the food? The guides packed lunches for us to eat on the hikes and they were WONDERFUL...and a healthy breakfast each AM at the condos were delightful!

I often look for solo trips with like-minded women and guides, Explorer Chick delivers every time. My only word to the wise is to pay attention to the physical requirements of each trip as if you are unable to meet the physical requirements, it can hurt the experience for others. That was not the case on this trip, the hikes and experiences were thoroughly enjoyed by all (Level-2) and the canyoneering and ATV-ing were absolutely wonderful and our group enjoyed every minute of these experiences on our trip. I can't wait until my next EC trip!!!

How can a person rate or review what finding a little bit peace and clarity is like?
I have had the pleasure of being on two EC trips since October 2024.
My first trip was in October of 2024 to Moab with guides Katie and Nikki.
That trip changed my life.
It is my belief that everyone signing up for an EC trip is searching for something. It just happens to be a little different for everyone.
I happened to be searching for me.
Who would have guessed that I would find her in the quiet and in the beauty of Utah with a group of strangers.
That trip reminded me that I am not just a wife, and momma. It helped me to filter out most of the crap floating around in my head and just focus on me for a few days.
My second trip with EC was in September of this year with Christina and Nikki in Yosemite.
Christina and Nikki, were the perfect guides for that trip, they were just what I needed. (shoutout to Nikki for being on my last trip and remembering that I love to eat PB sammies on white bread while I hike!)
Yosemite with all of the women on that trip was an experience I will never forget, because I almost didn’t go.
But I am so glad that I did.
I needed all of it, the adventure, the laughs, the beauty, and the opportunity to feel a little more like myself.
Pressing pause on home life and getting out of your comfort zone takes some courage, but with the help of EC and some absolute kick ass women I did it and so can you.

Thank you, EC, for helping me find a little more of myself of these amazing trips.

My trip to Moab was stellar! Accommodations, activities and food were all excellent. I saw the beautiful landscape as advertised, but I actually received something even better- the bond of new friendships. Our guides Mary and Stephanie facilitated the whole trip like the pros they are. I can hardly wait for my next outing with Explorer Chicks!💕
