Day 2 - Sunrise & Canyon
Dead Horse Point Sunrise & Little Wild Horse Slot Canyons
We are making the most of our time in Moab and rising with the birds on our first full day in Moab! We will pack up breakfast and lunch and drive a short distance to Dead Horse Point to catch the sunrise. This is a magical place to see the sun coming over the canyons so you will thank your guides for making you wake up so early.

After enjoying the sunrise we will get on the road and drive 2 hours to the Little Wild Horse Slot Canyon Trailhead. This trail will take us through miles of tight slot canyons with some areas where the trail opens up so you can see all of the amazing rock features around. These canyons are an incredible natural feature and hiking within them is a truly unique experience we are sure you will love!

After our hike we will complete the voyage back to Moab where we will have time to explore the town before having dinner.

Day 4 - Needles Hiking
Hiking in The Needles District of Canyonlands
Today we get to explore the southern end of Canyonlands National Park which is known as the Needles District. We will get a relatively early start this day because the Needles area is a 2 hour drive from Moab. Here we will gear up for a longer hike that will definitely be worth it for the stunning views and variety of natural features on the trail. The Chelser Park Loop Trail will not disappoint with its slot canyons and views of the needles. We will pack lunch along with us so we can enjoy it along the trail.

This trail is not difficult as far as elevation, but it is lengthy so we will enjoy a relaxing evening after our drive back to Moab.

The Apostle Islands Kayak Camping trip is definitely for folks who can appreciate a physical/ mental challenge in the outdoors and are prepared to expect the unexpected from Mother Nature. I am new to camping and had limited paddling experience, but found my stride while experiencing an epic adventure with a great group of friendly and supportive woman, all unknown to me prior to enrolling. The trip was enhanced by the excellent , professional and experienced guides who prioritized the group’s safety and well-being, prepared delish snacks and meals, and taught many newbies like myself how to navigate a persnickety but beautiful Lake Superior. I learned quite a lot about backcountry camping fundamentals that I will carry with me on my next outing, and I returned home feeling so much gratitude and respect for these women, the water, and the wilds of this rotating rock we call Earth. Thank you Maddy, Abby, Gitchie Gumee, and the Chicas Team, for the opportunity to have this once-in-a-lifetime experience and education.

An amazing trip with amazing women! Melanie and Tygra provided us with a great experience, taking care of the details so we could absorb and enjoy the wonderful scenery. This trip has been on my bucket list and thanks to Chicas Abroad, I can now cross it off! So glad I did it!

What a treat to just show up and enjoy a fun filled weekend in Walla Walla! This was my first trip with Chicas Abroad and it did not disappoint. Melanie created an itinerary that provided opportunities to be active as well as some down time. We rode bikes to the wineries with a guide, attended the balloon stampede, hiked, ate delicious meals, and enjoyed each other's company. I am already looking forward to my next Chicas Abroad trip.

Thank you for your review, Katie. We look forward to more adventures!

The trip was remarkable in many ways. Our guide Emily was well-planned, supportive, and fun. She set a pace that worked for all of us. Our group of women shared stories while also appreciating times of quiet to enjoy the beauty of the fells, lakes, stone walls, and sheep…lots of sheep! Some of the group hiked the entire 50+ miles over the 5 days while others (like me) hiked the full trails on 3 of the days, half-trail on 1 day, and took one day off to take a 5 mile hike on my own to visit Castlerigg Stone Circle. The food was fabulous (forget what you’ve heard about English food) and the accommodations were clean and comfortable. I would sign up for another Chicas Abroad trip again with no second thoughts!
