Photos Itinerary Expand All Days Day 1 - Zion and THE Narrows Smash down a Lumber-Jill breakfast before meeting your group at 7:00 AM at our Rendezvous Hotel in Las Vegas. There, your Explorer Chick Guides will welcome you with an official orientation before we load up the SHE-nanigan Shuttle for a scenic 2.5-hour transfer to Zion National Park. Your first drive into Zion is the kind of moment that sticks with you—jaw-dropping, awe-inducing, and definitely drool-worthy. Towering sandstone walls loom overhead as we make our way to gear up for our first adventure: an unforgettable trek through The Narrows. Wading through copper-hued waterfalls and winding through narrowing canyon walls, we’ll hike upstream to the legendary Wall Street, where sheer cliffs rise dramatically on either side. It’s a real-life portal to another world. After emerging from the Virgin River, we’ll shuttle to our luxurious glamping digs, the perfect place to unwind. As the sun sets, we’ll settle in around the campfire, swapping stories of the day’s adventures beneath a sky full of stars. Distance: 5 miles Hiking Time: 4-5 hours Transfer Time: 2.5 hours Accommodation: Glamping Meals: L, D NOTE: Hiking the Narrows is not guaranteed. The Park closes the river to hiking when water levels are high and dangerous. In case of closure, your Explorer Chick guides will have alternative hiking plans. Day 2 - Bryce Canyon and Hoodoos It’s a sunup to sundown day in Bryce Canyon. After crushing a hot breakfast, we’ll board the SHE-nanigan Shuttle to cruise the largest collection of hoodoos on Planet Earth. Our big hike of the day starts at the canyon rim overlooking Bryce Amphitheater which can only be described as a mosh pit of rock formations. We’ll leave the gawking tourists behind to wander deep among the hoodoos on a remote trail. Cull your photo roll to make space for all the stunning scenery Bryce Canyon has to offer. The rest of our day will be spent exploring the shorter trails in Bryce Park to squeeze out every second of sunlight. On our return to camp, we’ll stop for a hot dinner to silence our gremlin bellies. Distance: 7.8 miles Elevation Gain: 1,545’ Hiking Time: 5 hours Transfer Time to Bryce Canyon: 1:30 hours Accommodation: Glamping Meals: B-L-D Day 3 - Canyoneering in Greater Zion The Zion area is home to some of the best slot canyons in the country. Slowly carved by wind and water, these canyons are best explored by scrambling, down-climbing, rappelling, and wading. In the span of 4 hours you’ll conquer multiple rappels with your highest at 70 feet! YOU’RE BASICALLY ON THE COVER OF OUTSIDE MAGAZINE NOW. This route is perfect for beginners with no experience. Just show up willing to go ALL IN and back off the edge into the canyon. We’ll snap you cheesin’ and score plenty of Glamour Shots as the light dances off the red sandstone walls. Your afternoon is free. You can decide to tack on another hike in Zion as recommended by your guides, take your bra off back at camp, or catch an epic sunset from the hot tub. Hiking Distance: 2.3 miles. 459′ gain. Hiking Time: 4-6 hours plus optional hikes Accommodation: Glamping Meals: B-L-D Day 4 - Hiking Scout Lookout and Goodbyes Hold those tears back—we have one last epic hike! It’s an early start as we head back into the park, ready to tackle our final challenge: hiking up all 21 of Walter’s Wiggles to Scout Lookout. Your legs might burn, but the sweeping views will be worth every step. We’ll pause for a well-earned breather and some photos before descending to a more leisurely trek to the stunning Upper and Lower Emerald Pools, where shimmering waterfalls and serene streams offer the perfect send-off. SOAK IT ALL IN, GIRL! After a weekend of gnarly hikes, belly laughs, and unbreakable bonds, you’ve earned this high. We’ll hug it out before rolling back to Las Vegas, a 2.5-hour drive filled with reflection, triumph, and just a little well-earned exhaustion. The courage in your heart—and the adventure still clinging to your boots—will carry you until your next Explorer Chick escapade. Plan evening flight departures after 8 PM. Distance: 6.29 miles Elevation Gain: 1,650′ Hiking Time: 4-5 hours Transfer Time: 2.50 hours Meals: B, L NOTE: Explorer Chick reserves the option to modify trip itineraries at the discretion of your tour director as necessary due to weather, conditions, illness, injury, group dynamics, or other unforeseen incidents. Optional: Day 3 - Wildly Scenic UTV Slot Canyon Tour Optional Excursion: Wanna turn up the adventure this afternoon? Add on a guided UTV Slot Canyon Tour—an easygoing yet adventurous off-road ride through the wild heart of Southern Utah. Your professional guide will drive the UTV as you head deep into red rock country to explore two jaw-dropping slot canyons. Skip the strenuous hiking—you’ll ride straight to the canyon mouths, hop out, and walk right into those dramatic, twisting sandstone walls. It’s the perfect mix of rugged fun and stunning scenery.
