Summer isn’t over yet—there’s still time for one more backpacking adventure!

Join us for our guided Introduction to Backpacking trip in the breathtaking Shoshone Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, from Sept. 1-4, 2024! With only a few spots remaining, you still have a chance to be part of this unforgettable journey through Yellowstone’s pristine backcountry.

We'll embark on a trek through geothermal wonders, including steaming geysers such as Lone Star Geyser, all while soaking in breathtaking views of the vast landscapes. Our knowledgeable guides will teach you essential backpacking skills and provide insights into the unique geothermal features of the park.

Let’s wrap up this summer season with one final, epic adventure: https://goodtripadventures.com/introduction-to-backpacking-yellowstone-shoshone-geyser-basin-2024/

Today, we celebrate cats—and no, not the musical!🐾 In honor of International Cat Day, let's spotlight North America’s largest wild cat: the mountain lion! Here are PURRty fascinating facts you might not know:

Mountain lions, also called cougars or pumas, have the most extensive range of any wild terrestrial mammal in the Western Hemisphere, spanning from Canada to Argentina. These solitary hunters rarely roar, but they do communicate with growls, screams, and purrs. They can leap an astonishing 40 feet in a single bound and reach speeds of up to 50 miles per hour in short bursts!

Mountain lions play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of ecosystems in national parks like: Yosemite, Zion, Rocky Mountain, Great Smoky Mountains, and even the Everglades down in Florida!

Unlike your pet cat Felix, these wild cats aren't looking for head scratches and can be dangerous if approached. So, when visiting our national parks, be sure to:

- Keep children and pets close, especially at dawn and dusk.
- Avoid hiking alone; bring a buddy!
- Make noise to avoid surprising a mountain lion.
- If you encounter one, stay calm, stand your ground, and make yourself look larger.
- Do not run; back away slowly while maintaining eye contact.

Did you hear? We’re extending brat girl summer into the fall!

Join us for a four-day adventure through Joshua Tree’s stunning landscape—hike through vibrant wildflower fields, bask in desert serenity, and unwind under a dazzling starlit sky.

Most importantly, this trip isn’t just about exploring a national park; it’s about creating lasting memories in a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where every member of the q***r community can feel at home. Our journey provides a vital safe space in the great outdoors, promoting inclusivity in places where representation is often lacking.

This adventure was truly transformative, offering deeply meaningful experiences and awe-inspiring views.

The bonds formed, the personal growth achieved, and the breathtaking landscapes explored made this experience truly unforgettable.

"Pull over, I think I see something!"

When traveling to Yellowstone National Park, spotting wildlife is one of the most exciting experiences! Here are some tips to make the most of your adventure:

- Head out early in the morning or around dusk when animals are most active
- Bring binoculars and a camera with a zoom lens to capture those magical moments
- Take your time and wait quietly—nature has a way of revealing itself when you’re patient
- Maintain a safe distance. Look for groups of parked cars (pulled off safely from the road); they’re often a good indicator of nearby wildlife
- Don’t hesitate to ask park rangers and guides for the best wildlife-watching tips

"That trip redefined my preconceived notions of what going solo on a guided group trip means: a rare chance to move through a landscape I’d probably not get to on my own while making precious new connections along the way."

These heartfelt words come from Melissa Fields, a writer who recently joined us on our guided Women's Backpacking Trip to Capitol Reef National Park. In her latest article, she beautifully captures all the details that make our trips so special. From the insightful pre-trip Zoom call that helped her choose the perfect backpack to the immediate bonds she formed with the other incredible women on the trip, Melissa's authentic reflection speaks volumes about her experience.

Our journeys are not just about exploring stunning landscapes but also about fostering deep connections with nature, oneself, and each other. Whether it's experiencing a challenging backpacking route or sharing a serene moment under Capitol Reef's dark sky, every part of the adventure is designed to be transformative.

They don't call it the GRAND Tetons for nothing!

On July 4th, we take today to recognize that this sacred land has been home to Indigenous peoples since time immemorial. As we reflect on our country and the ongoing journey towards true freedom, here are some ways to stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities:

- Visit native-land.ca to learn about the Indigenous peoples who have cared for this land long before colonization
- Eliminate harmful stereotypes and erasure from your vocabulary. Words have power.
- Support Indigenous efforts to protect their land from destructive practices, particularly by empowering the Land Back movement.

Throughout our country's history, we have made countless mistakes, and the need for change is greater than ever. We have the privilege, and a duty, to reshape the narrative and educate ourselves to take meaningful action.

Our women's Capitol Reef Backpacking trip was a transformative experience. Our incredible & talented photographer, Savannah, says it best:

"Where exactly does a “ladies backpacking trip” begin? What exactly do they talk about, what must they do?

Surely they must talk about men and painting nails, or interior decorating and maybe their favorite dresses to wear amongst the summer heat? Or the food they eat on their periods or the sad girl Taylor Swift album they played on repeat during a break up.

God, if only a fly on the wall heard all we discussed on this trip. Maybe some interior decorating or a favorite hiking skort (thankfully now back in fashion) but often it consisted of life’s truest and deepest joys, aches, pains, laughable moments, something in there about p**ps (or lack there of while on trail) and the love we all share for being outside.

It begins truly when we allow ourselves to strip the stigmas at the van door. And as we hiked miles and miles the things we discussed were ALL of that and more.

Because at the end of the day, we're women doing a backpacking trip. But really we’re simply human beings going from point A to point B with all we need carried on our shoulders and hips alongside the very incredible company we kept."

Happy Longest Day of the Year!

Today marks the Summer Solstice, a day of great significance in Indigenous culture. For the Puebloans, it's a time to honor the sun, the earth, and the cycles of life. The Pueblo celebrate with ceremonies that include traditional dances, singing, and prayers, reflecting their deep connection to nature.

The Pueblo people's homeland includes areas now encompassed by several U.S. National Parks, such as Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon, and Zion National Park, where we are privileged to guide in.

How do you plan on celebrating this year's Summer Solstice?

Juneteenth is a pivotal day in Black liberation history and a reminder that the fight for equality is far from over. It’s a day to reflect on the progress made and acknowledge the work we still need to do.

As we reflect on Juneteenth today, we can show our support every other day of the year by:

- Supporting Black-owned businesses locally and online
- Following and uplifting Black content creators on social media
- Educating ourselves on Black history through podcasts, books, and other resources
- Donating to organizations dedicated to advancing racial justice and equality

Let’s honor this important day and actively contribute to the ongoing efforts for justice and equality, especially in our outdoor/recreational spaces.

New Season, New Guides!

A new crew of Good Trip guides gathered in Yosemite for our 2024 guide training to build connections and to hone their knowledge of this iconic park as they prepare to create memorable experiences for guests this summer! They took to many of the trails, feeling the spray of valley waterfalls on a sunny afternoon, to soaking in the peaceful quiet of the Mariposa Sequoia Grove, to winding up Glacier Point Road for breathtaking views from Sentinel Dome and beyond. They debated the perfect snacks for a summer day and told stories from the park's natural and human histories while enjoying said snacks (ice cream and Dot's pretzels, if you were curious).

So if you're traveling to Yosemite with us this summer, you just might be greeted by one of these smiling faces. We can't wait to meet you!
