ZION RANCH ADVENTURE
By Rachel Jordan
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 guide 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 in a four-wheel-drive vehicle and hike through the coral-pink sands of Peek-a-boo Gulch. 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 of 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 the southwestern culture as you partake in
a traditional home-cooked, 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.
