Women's Backpacking Trip
July 25th - 27th
Pagosa Springs, Colorado
This retreat is ideal for women who want to challenge themselves and truly get away from the noises of everyday life. This will be a fully remote trip with no phone signal (yay!) Some general hiking experience is required, but we will go slow and take breaks– a marathon, not a sprint.
Event Overview
This was our very first trip many moons ago, we’re so excited to get back out there. On Friday afternoon, we will meet at a cabin in Pagosa, go over some backpacking basics, make sure our bags are packed adequately, and get a good nights’ rest. On Saturday morning we will get up early and head out to the trailhead. We will be embarking on a moderately challenging/difficult backpacking trip, 12 miles total on an out-and-back trail. Our goal will be to camp on top of a beautiful saddle, overlooking Treasure valley. We will hike down Sunday and revel in our accomplishments.
Facilitator and Guides:
This experience will be facilitated by Fran, the founder of Empowered to Explore. Fran is a certified Women’s Guidance Facilitator, a Wilderness First Responder, and has been professionally facilitating outdoor learning experiences for 7 years. She brings an introspective element into exploring the outdoors which allows you to more deeply connect with yourself, your intuition, and your confidence through your adventures.
Logistics
All meals (2 Dinners, 2 Breakfasts, 2 lunches), are included in your registration fee. The gear list is a little longer than normal. I will share the packing list upon registration and if you need anything and don’t want to purchase it, I have rentals available for everything
Pagosa Springs is about 5 hours away from Denver. If you are flying, the closest airport is the Durango - La Plata Airport which is roughly 1..5 hour drive from Pagosa Springs. If you will be needing transportation assistance, please reach out via email to discuss options.
Note: Tiered Pricing includes the same experiences and accommodations, we simply offer different tiers to offer opportunities for people to join these spaces at a rate that best works for them and their financial situations.
