Women-only trips offer the opportunity to discover yourself, each other and the world around you without the self-imposed restrictions that are present in everyday life. The shield and armor that you wrap yourself in for your daily existence is dropped at trip’s beginning as you discover what it’s like to just be yourself and play like you did when you were a little girl. Although the focus of the trips varies by group and itinerary, the results are the same: a rare respite, a memorable journey without judgment. And no experience necessary.
Sheri Griffith Expeditions creates trips that provide a supportive, non-competitive setting to learn outdoor skills taught by extensively trained and highly personal river women. They have specific trip descriptions for each trip.

Trip Itinerary
Day 1: Meet at the river office at 7:30am Mountain Daylight Time. You’ll drive to the river, load your gear on the raft and head downstream. Time is set aside for walks to places that are part of the western legends. Your guide prepares a fresh buffet lunch. Camp is on a remote beach, where the evening always begins with hors d'oeuvres. While your guides prepare dinner, there’s time for you relax, unwind and experience the bonding that develops between women and their chosen surroundings.
Day 2: Start the day with a little coffee conversation. Board the rafts after breakfast and continue your journey. The red sandstone cliffs change to shiny black granite walls as the Colorado River plunges into Black Granite Gorge. Here are the incredible rapids you have been waiting for: Little Hummer, Funnel Falls, Last Chance Rapid, and, of course, the infamous Skull Rapid. Lunch is a fresh buffet on the riverbank. After a few more rapids, you’ll pull off to camp. Interspersed throughout the trip will be interaction time, readings and some Indian cultural experiences. There’s time to relax and compare runs through the rapids as the sun sets behind the canyon walls.
Day 3: Awaken to the river lapping the shore and the coffee ready. You’ll repack the rafts and continue through the canyons. Enjoy your last lunch on the riverbank and a leisurely afternoon on the water. The van returns you to Moab around 6:00pm-6:30pm.
