Adventure is not a one-size-fits-all, nor do you have to be half-way across the world to get a taste of it. It can happen anywhere, even right outside your doorstep, and because adventure means something different to everyone, there’s no recipe or right way to experience it. With Club Adventures’ Retreat itineraries, you’ll dip your toe into adventure in the most authentic ways with the company of a Local Leader to immerse you into the culture of their home.

Zion Ranch Stay

During Club Adventures’ Zion Ranch Stay Retreat you’ll encounter breathtaking southwestern landscapes while exploring the highlights of Utah’s National Parks. Traverse the rugged terrain of Monument Valley on a 4x4 jeep and hike through the coral-pink sands of the Peekaboo slot canyon. For four days, become entirely immersed in the beauty of the world and nothing else. You’ll stroll the rim of Bryce Canyon and steal a glimpse Horseshoe Bend while getting in touch with the environment on a variety of stunning hikes in the area. You’ll even have the chance to truly embrace southwestern culture as you partake in a traditional homecooked, family-style Navajo lunch after a Navajo guided tour of Monument Valley – a truly unique way to see this part of the country.

Living like a local

This Retreat is all about getting in touch with the destination, and there’s often no better way to do this than to sleep like you’re in the destination too! On retreats, you’re based in one location for the duration of the trip which not only allows for you to relax after unpacking just once, but also helps you geographically center yourself. You and your fellow travelers will become familiar with the area as well as the people you encounter during your stay.

Visiting the Southwest pushes you to reconnect with nature, and this retreat embraces all that the wide-open areas of Utah have to offer. From hosting a roaming herd of bison on site to being surrounded by deer, horses, bunnies and chickens, staying on the ranch links you back up with your local surroundings and gives you the opportunity to relax and fully experience the destination during your hours off from exploring the surrounding parks.
