Coyote Gulch Guided Backpacking Trip
Let's backpack Together
Are you ready for (4) days of backpacking with new friends through beautiful canyons and Utah slickrock?
I have partnered directly with my FAVORITE Guiding Operator (Wildland Trekking) for this all-women adventure trip.
NO BACKPACKING EXPERIENCE REQUIRED! This trip is PERFECT for brand new backpackers or women who have backpacked before.
We will be accompanied by (2) badass female guides to show us the way and be with us the entire time & teaching us about the area, even preparing fresh meals for us.
High stoke travel with like-minded adventurers
This trip is for women who want to...
- Adventure, explore, backpack, camp, or and travel but don’t have anyone to go with.
- Step into the outdoor space and learn, but may not have the gear or know where to start.
- Not worry about planing the trip + logistics, but rather, have that already done for them.
- Chase high-stoke days with women from all different backgrounds.
- Meet new outdoorsy friends and build long-lasting community on trail.
Meet your host
I’m Bethany, your highly-caffeinated adventure trip host and dedicated dirt dweller.
I’ve been hosting these incredible, life-changing trips all over the US and world for 2ish years. I’ve had the privilege of witnessing brave women from all experience levels step outside their comfort zones, learn how to set up tents for the first time, and see what their bodies and minds are capable of on trail. How COOL is that?

More Trip Details!
What are the age ranges?
These trips have women ranging in ages 25-55! How cool is that?
Do I have to pay all at once? Payment plans?
There will be a $250 deposit to reserve your spot and you can pay as you go (as much as you want at a time) on your Wildland Trekking account. The remainder of your payment ($1,900) is due 60 days prior to the trip. The deposit is refundable minus $50 fee if you cancel outside of the 60 trip window.
Do most people come as strangers?
Yes! Which is the BEST part because you will walk away with new rad friends. I would say 95% of travelers come solo and don’t know anyone else on the trip. 🙂
What gear is included?
You will be provided a sleeping bag, sleeping pad, tent (solo tents are available at no extra cost), multi-day pack, trekking poles, and neoprene socks!
You will need to bring your personal items, clothes, headlamp, and water bladder (filtered water provided daily). Don’t worry – you will get a FULL packing list.
You can bring your own gear, but it will not change the cost of the trip. 🙂
What meals are provided? Dietary accommodations?
Fresh meals will be made on trail each day of our trip starting with breakfast on the 5th all the way through lunch on the 8th. Our Welcome Dinner at a local restaurant is also included! Dietary accommodations (gluten free, dairy free, vegan, etc.) can be accommodated and you will inform Wildland Trekking ahead of time.
Are the local guides medically trained?
They sure are! They are all Certified Wilderness First Responders.
We will have (2) local guides that are experts in the area and will be the ones driving the van(s), coordinating all the logistics, cooking all the meals together, and teaching us about the local area.
Do I need travel insurance?
It is not required, but it’s recommended!
Will a training plan be provided? How heavy are the packs we will be carrying?
You betcha! I will provide 12-week DB training program as well as step-up programming to ensure you feel STRONG going into the trip! Our pack weight will range anywhere from 30-35lbs.
Are dietary restrictions accommodated?
Heck yeah! Leading up to the trip, you will provide Wildland Trekking any dietary restrictions you have and they will cater the menu to accommodate.
Do I need to have backpacking experience?
Nope! ALL EXPERIENCE LEVELS ARE WELCOME! There is so much room for learning on these trips and it’s PERFECT for first-timers or experienced backpackers.
When do I need to arrive?
This is mentioned above and in the itinerary, but you will need to arrive on the 4th by 5 PM because that is when we will have our pre-trip Logistics & Gear Meeting and then enjoy a Welcome Dinner together (included). // Pre + post lodging is not included, but many travelers will share rooms to split the cost. 🙂
Will there be a group chat?
Yes! 6 months out, a group chat will be started where everyone can virtually meet, chat about sharing hotel rooms before/after, asking questions, and sharing the stoke!
