Join us for a soul-stirring, laughter-filled journey through the majestic landscapes of Utah’s most iconic national parks. This 7-day all-women’s adventure is designed for bold spirits, nature lovers, and those craving connection—with the earth, with themselves, and with an incredible community of like-minded women.

From the wind-carved arches of Moab to the towering cliffs of Zion, the surreal hoodoos of Bryce Canyon, and the quiet magic of Capitol Reef, every day offers a new terrain to explore and a new story to write. We’ll hike sunrise trails, conquer adrenaline-pumping ATV rides, stargaze under some of the darkest skies in the country, and share unforgettable moments over campfires, canyon views, and shared achievements.

This journey is more than just a trip—it’s an invitation to step outside your comfort zone, breathe in the wild, and rediscover your strength, your joy, and your sense of adventure. Come as you are, leave forever changed.

Guests booked by January 31 will receive our exclusive Chicas Abroad Mighty 5 Adventure Kit, including a custom Mighty 5 water bottle and Goodr National Park sunglasses—created just for this journey through Utah’s iconic national parks.

This trip is designed for women who enjoy staying active and exploring the outdoors at a moderate to adventurous pace. You can expect daily hikes ranging from 2 to 6 miles, some with elevation gain or uneven terrain, along with optional high-energy activities like ATV riding and river hikes. While no extreme athletic experience is required, a basic level of fitness and a sense of adventure will help you get the most out of the experience. We build in plenty of rest time, scenic breaks, and flexibility so you can challenge yourself while still feeling supported and energized throughout the journey.

In May, the weather across Moab, Zion, Bryce Canyon, and Capitol Reef is generally ideal for outdoor adventures—mild to warm during the day and cooler at night. Moab and Zion typically see daytime highs in the 70s to 80s°F (21–30°C), perfect for hiking and exploring, while evenings dip into the 50s°F (10–15°C). Bryce Canyon, being higher in elevation, is cooler with daytime highs in the 60s°F (15–20°C) and chilly nights that can drop into the 30s–40s°F (1–7°C). Capitol Reef offers a pleasant mix, with temperatures ranging from the 60s to low 80s°F (16–27°C). May is also a relatively dry month, though quick afternoon showers are possible—so layers and sun protection are key.

All the excursions listed in the itinerary are included. Bring cash/credit cards for purchasing souvenirs, additional snacks/meals, alcoholic drinks, extra activities, and other items. 

All gratuities are included in your adventure, with the exception of tips for your Chicas Abroad Tour Leader. While tipping your Tour Leader is entirely optional, it’s a meaningful way to show appreciation for the care, energy, and behind-the-scenes magic they bring to your trip.

If you’ve had an exceptional experience, a typical gratuity for a trip of this length ranges from $250–$300. In cases where more than one Tour Leader is present, you’re welcome to give your tip to one of them—they’ll ensure it’s shared among the team.

A custom packing list will be emailed out prior to departure.

We will kick off the trip with a scenic drive from Salt Lake City to Moab. There will be no shortage of red rocks along the way. After settling into our cozy accommodations, we’ll head out for a sunset walk with epic views that give us just a taste of the magic to come. Let the adventure begin!

We kick off our first full day with a journey through the sculpted sandstone wonderland of Arches National Park. We'll hike to iconic formations like Delicate Arch and the Windows, standing beneath arches carved over millions of years. The desert light here shifts dramatically, bathing the red rock in shades of gold and crimson as the morning unfolds. In the afternoon, it’s time to crank up the adrenaline with a high-energy ATV tour through Moab’s rugged backcountry. We'll navigate slickrock trails, conquer steep climbs, and laugh our way through muddy turns, all while surrounded by jaw-dropping views. This day is the perfect blend of natural wonder and fearless fun.

Before we leave Moab behind, we’ll squeeze in one more dose of wonder with a sunrise visit to Canyonlands National Park. This lesser-known gem delivers sweeping views and a serene, expansive energy. From here, we’ll embark on a road trip through some of the most scenic landscapes in the Southwest. Picture winding roads, towering rock formations, and desert horizons that seem to stretch forever. By afternoon, we’ll arrive at the doorstep of Zion National Park—one of the most dramatic and awe-inspiring places in the world. As we settle into our new home base, the excitement builds for what lies ahead.

Zion invites us to go deep—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Today, we will choose the adventure depending on the weather in the days leading up to the trip. For thrill-seekers, the hike to Angels Landing offers a heart-pounding ascent with chains, cliffs, and views that make you feel on top of the world. Prefer to keep your feet a bit wetter (and cooler)? The Narrows trail leads you into a narrow slot canyon where you’ll wade through a river between towering stone walls. Both options offer a deep connection to nature and a huge sense of accomplishment. No matter the path you take, today will leave you feeling powerful and alive.

We travel to Bryce Canyon today, where the landscape transforms again into a maze of crimson spires and delicate hoodoos that look like something from another planet. Our mid-morning hike is called the Figure 8 Trail and takes us down into the canyon’s amphitheater for a unique perspective on these towering formations. As we climb back up, we’ll reflect on how small we are in comparison to the ancient earth—and how strong we are to explore it. In the evening, we’ll wrap ourselves in warm layers and gather beneath one of the darkest skies in the country. With no city lights in sight, you’ll witness stars like you’ve never seen them before.

Today, we explore one of Utah’s most underrated gems: Capitol Reef National Park. This park offers a quieter, more intimate connection to the land, with fewer crowds and plenty of hidden treasures. We’ll hike to natural bridges, explore colorful canyons, and maybe even pick fruit from historic orchards, depending on the season. With dramatic cliffs, petroglyphs, and tranquil desert vibes, Capitol Reef is a perfect place to reflect, recharge, and reconnect. Tonight, we celebrate our journey and the bonds we’ve built as we share stories and laughter under the wide desert sky.

As our trip winds down, we’ll greet the final morning with one last sunrise—watching as the desert comes alive with light and color. It’s a quiet, grounding moment to reflect on how far we’ve come, both literally and figuratively. On our way back toward Salt Lake City, we’ll stop for a soak in natural hot springs—letting the warm waters ease tired muscles and seal in the serenity we’ve found together. This is more than a goodbye; it’s a celebration of your courage, your curiosity, and the beautiful connections formed through adventure.
