In Her Words

My recent Zion & Bryce trip was my 3rd Explorer Chick trip. It was another great experience that I won't forget. The parks are amazing and the cayoneering was my favorite. Christina and Kirstie are the dynamic duo with so much experience, energy, and full of fun. They were so attentive and supportive and went above and beyond to make sure we had an awesome experience. Highly recommend!!
I can not recommend Explorer Chick enough! I did the Zion and Bryce Canyon trip and it was beyond amazing! The details of every single thing is planned out and so thoughtful. The guides are amazing - Mary and Kirstie are the best! So genuine and down to Earth. So thoughtful and considerate! They really went out of their way to make the trip special for each of us. The food was amazing and very accommodating for every person. Sleeping arrangements were perfect. The adventures were just a dream! The bond with every single woman on the trip including the guides was beyond special. Everything was seriously a dream. I am still on cloud 9 from my trip and can't wait to do another trip with Explorer Chick!
Response from the owner:We’re absolutely beaming reading this, thank you! We’re so glad your Zion and Bryce Canyon adventure felt like a dream from start to finish. Mary and Kirstie have a gift for turning thoughtful details into unforgettable moments, and we love that you felt so cared for, on the trail, at the table, and in the heart of your group. That cloud 9 feeling? We totally get it. Can’t wait to welcome you back for your next Explorer Chick chapter!
I have been wanting to venture out of my comfort zone and have a story to remember and tell others about. Deciding to jump in with Explorer Chicks and head to Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon is a game changer. I have never taken a trip like this before, especially one so adventurous. Leaving all arrangements up to EC and the guides is just the beginning. My trips guides, Katie K. and Mary C.M. were are the best! From the first encounter to the last hugs, these two ladies made me feel welcomed and ready to take on any challenge. I always felt supported, encouraged and safe during my adventure. They lead by example and were emotional available and venerable with the rest of us. Every morning outside their tents, they provided us a coffee bar. Also, we NEVER stopped for gas, only bathroom and snack breaks. How is that possible unless these ladies were working throughout the nights as fun fairies! Our group of ladies varied in age from low 40's to 70. During our adventures, Katie and Mary sandwiched us between them and no one felt left behind. Our accommodations were spiffy and the food delicious. I ate better (healthier and flavorful) on trail than I do in my own home. Explorer Chicks has my vote and I encourage all ladies wanting to step out a little or a lot... sign up! You are worth it, you are enough!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Lana, it means the world to us! 💛 We’re thrilled that your Zion and Bryce adventure with Explorer Chick was everything you hoped for and more. Katie and Mary truly have that special touch, from those coffee bar mornings to making sure everyone feels supported and unstoppable on the trail. We love hearing that you felt welcomed, encouraged, and well-fed (we’re all about those delicious trail meals!). Cheers to stepping out of your comfort zone and creating stories worth telling, we can’t wait to be part of your next chapter!
So glad I took the risk to sign up for a trip with Explorer Chicks! I did the Zion / Bryce Glamping trip and it was AMAZING! Guides Katy and Mary were top notch.. so knowledgeable of the history of the area and so organized and energetic! All the food and accommodations were great and of course the hiking / canyoneering was unreal. I will definitely do more trips with EC and would recommend them to anyone. I went alone… don’t be afraid to do that!!
Response from the owner:We’re so thrilled you took the leap and joined us for the Zion and Bryce Glamping adventure, Sarah! Mary and Katie truly shine when it comes to sharing their knowledge and energy, and we’re so glad you felt that every step of the way. From breathtaking hikes to epic canyoneering, it sounds like you embraced it all. And major cheers to you for going solo, that’s what Explorer Chick is all about! We can’t wait to have you join us for your next adventure.
Mary and Katie made the the explorer chick trip to Zion and Bryce the adventure of a lifetime! Every detail was taken care of. All we had to do was show up and have fun! The hikes, glamping resort, meals and adventures were perfection! We also had a great group of women to share the experience with! I will be booking another trip with explorer chick in the future and would love for Mary and Katie to be my guides again!
Response from the owner:We love hearing that your Zion and Bryce adventure was everything you dreamed of, and more, Elaine! Mary and Katie are masters at creating those show-up-and-have-fun experiences, and we’re thrilled you enjoyed the stunning hikes, glamping comforts, and delicious meals. Even better that you got to share it all with an incredible group of women! We can’t wait to welcome you back for your next Explorer Chick journey, and we’ll keep our fingers crossed for Mary and Katie, too!
I have never traveled with Explorer Chicks. I read some reviews and booked a summer hike to my next bucket list in Machu Picchu. My daughter surprised me with a spring Zion and Bryce Canyon Glamping trip in celebration of our birthdays and to test my training. And the trip far was magnificent, exceeding my expectations!

Mary and Katie were our guides, and they were amazing. They welcomed the eight of us in our group on Day 1 with a fun music ice breaker for the long ride to the park. They anticipated our needs with extra stops, snacks, drinks, stories, words of encouragement and support as each of us embraced a new challenge with increased confidence and strength. They prepared us for each day with a hearty breakfast and information to set us up for success. Lunches were homemade and delicious in a lunch bag printed with our name and a heart. This is just one example of Mary and Katie’s nurturing touches.

Mary’s knowledge of geology and nature and Katie’s knowledge of yoga and health were a winning combination. The hikes in Zion and Bryce Canyon were breathtaking and awe-inspiring. Mary and Kate shared an introduction for each hike. Rappelling and canyoneering tested my comfort level. They helped us with every step and instilled a sense of competence by breaking the tasks into small steps. I loved the pride I felt when we were done! Mary and Katie gave us instructions for wading through the Narrows in Zion. The weather was perfect, and we spent hours walking through the water surrounded by incredible views.

Dinner was spent at local ranch restaurants with fresh delicious food. Our glamping campsite was comfortable with WiFi, electricity, heat and a fun hot tub.

The women we traveled with were strong and fun. Mary and Katie nurtured eight strangers into eight friends cheering and supporting each other.

I highly recommend Explorer Chicks for any woman looking for a challenging adventure with time for reflection in a safe and positive environment.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing your experience! 💛 We’re thrilled your first trip with Explorer Chick was such a memorable one, and what a sweet surprise from your daughter! Mary and Katie are absolute treasures, and we love how their knowledge, support, and those thoughtful touches added so much to your Zion and Bryce Canyon Glamping adventure. From rappelling and canyoneering to wading through the Narrows, it sounds like you embraced every moment with confidence and joy. We can’t wait to see you tackle Machu Picchu next—another bucket list adventure awaits!
The Zion and Bryce Glamping trip far exceeded my expectations in every way. Our incredible guides, Mary and Katie, were both supportive and uplifting throughout the journey. Their calming presence and genuine connection to nature helped ease my fear of heights, allowing me to fully embrace each adventure.

Canyoneering and rappelling were exhilarating experiences that pushed me outside my comfort zone in the best way. Hiking the rim of Bryce Canyon and wading through the Narrows were both breathtaking journeys—each offering awe-inspiring views and unforgettable moments..

Mary brought the landscape to life with her deep knowledge of the area’s history and geology—plus, she never let us go too long without a fun facts and snacks break! Katie’s peaceful, grounding energy added a serene touch to the entire experience. The lunches they prepared for our hikes were not only delicious but thoughtfully crafted—we were thrilled they shared their recipes with us.

The campsite itself was a dream: charming glamping tents equipped with heat, electricity, and WiFi made for a cozy stay. After long hikes, soaking in the hot tub under the stars was the perfect way to unwind. And the food? The farm-to-table meals at the ranch restaurant were absolutely superb—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented.

This trip was the perfect blend of adventure, comfort, and soul-nourishing connection to nature. Highly recommended! Looking forward to my next adventure with Mary and Katie!
Response from the owner:Wow...thank you for sharing such beautiful reflections on your Zion and Bryce Glamping adventure! ✨ We’re so thrilled to hear that Mary and Katie helped you conquer those fears and embrace every moment. Their passion for nature and thoughtful touches truly make a difference, and we love that you felt that connection. From breathtaking hikes and thrilling canyoneering to cozy glamping nights and incredible meals, it sounds like you soaked in every bit of the experience. We can’t wait to welcome you back for more adventures with the Explorer Chick crew!
I got back from Zion and Bryce Canyon a few days ago and have been unable to stop talking about this phenomenal trip! Our guides, Kirstie and Mary, were nothing short of amazing. Every conceivable need was met during the trip. Constant words of encouragement and support as we all embraced challenges and grew both in confidence and strength. I cannot recommend this company enough. The women I met during this trip will hopefully remain lifelong friends, and I am already looking at booking my next trip. I felt completely safe and confident in the expertise of our guides, which allowed me to truly enjoy a stress free, but active vacation. Thank you, Explorer Chick for such a fantastic experience!
Response from the owner:We’re so thrilled to hear how much you loved your Zion and Bryce Canyon adventure! 💛 Kirstie and Mary are true pros at creating a safe, supportive, and empowering space for every Explorer Chick, and we love that you walked away with both confidence and new friendships. We can’t wait to welcome you back for your next adventure. Here’s to more epic trails and lifelong connections!
Had an amazing trip hiking in Zion and Bryce Canyon with a group of outgoing ladies and two incredibly funny, authentic and helpful guides - Lauren & Kirstie! There were tons of laughs, breathtaking views and some delicious food (a special shout out to the dinner at Cordwood!). Thanks to Explorer Chicks for delivering trips geared towards women who love adventure!
Now I've....had...the time of my liiiiife....and I owe it all to Explorer Chick! Me and three friends went on the Zion/Bryce trip and it was absolutely amazing! Our guides, Christina and Ashley, made the trip so amazing and had little fun surprises set up for every day. I would take this trip time and time again, but I'm hoping after I take more EC trips!
