Day 2 - Hike Colchuck
Day 2 - Hike Colchuck
Hiking to Lake Colchuck & Alpine Coaster Ride
After breakfast, we’ll head into the Enchantments to hike to the infamous Colchuck lake. This is a difficult hike that is 9 miles out-and-back with nearly 2,500 feet elevation gain. There is some boulder-scrambling (nothing too extreme), stair climbing, and amazing views along the entire trail. This is a hike you want to spend the summer getting in shape for! But when you get to the top, you’ll be rewarded with a glacier blue-green lake that is absolutely stunning. We’ll enjoy a mountain picnic lunch at the lake and then venture back down to the trailhead.

After relaxing a bit and cleaning up, we will ride the new 2700' Alpine Coaster at Leavenworth's Adventure Park! The ride is approximately 4 minutes long and provides beautiful views of the surrounding area. And the coaster has brakes so you can go as fast or slow as you'd like.

After our coaster ride, we will hit the streets of Leavenworth again this evening for more fabulous eats and drinks and enjoy the Octoberfest activities.

Accommodations: Leavenworth Hotel
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Snacks, Dinner
Activity: 9 mile hike with 2,350' elevation gain

Day 3-Chelan Wineries
Day 3-Chelan Wineries
Wine-tasting in Chelan
Today we will take the short drive north to the beautiful central Washington wine country of Chelan. We will enjoy wine-tasting at a few wineries and hopefully get in on some grape-stomping activities as it's harvest season! We will take in the views of Lake Chelan and take a stroll along the riverwalk to stretch our legs which will likely be stiff from yesterday's hike.

There will be time to visit the cute boutique shops that line the main street of Chelan and we will enjoy dinner before returning to Leavenworth for the evening.

Accommodations: Leavenworth Hotel
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

We will plan to be back in Spokane around 4:00, so schedule your flights to depart at 5:00pm or later.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

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!
