How to Train for a Bigger Hike: Conquer Length, Elevation, and Your Limits
Have you ever dreamed of hiking the rim of the Grand Canyon, summiting Colorado’s Fourteeners, or through-hiking the Enchantments in Washington?

Story from a guest on our recent Paria Canyon Trek in October 2023:
“On this backpacking trip, it was a joy to watch other wonderful women get a taste for how uplifting, healing, and life-changing such trips can be. How these types of experiences can ignite (or reignite) a passion for seeking joy and connection with each other, and the world around us.
I was able to witness many of them shift their physical, emotional, and/or spiritual baselines for what was desired in their lives…gaining clarity on what they needed more of, and what they wanted less of.”
