Off the Grid.
Into the Desert.
October 22 - 25, 2026
San Rafael Swell, Utah
Co-ed, 18+
$75 per/person · $23 deposit
Some places you have to earn. This is one of them. Over four days, Girls Gone Hiking is heading deep into the San Rafael Swell, one of Utah's most remote and jaw-dropping desert regions. Think towering hoodoos, slot canyon narrows, ancient rock formations, and a campsite so far off the grid there's not a bar of service to be found. This isn't a hotel hike. This is primitive desert camping the way it's meant to be, sleeping under the stars, cooking over fire, and waking up to a landscape that doesn't look real. Led by Tiffany Soriano, who knows this terrain like her own backyard, this weekend is built for people who want to go farther and stay longer. Spots are capped at 12. If you've been waiting for a trip that actually goes somewhere, this is it.
