scale and you will begin to understand the beauty and uniqueness
of Zion Canyon in Utah. The name “Zion” means a place of
peace and refuge, a desert with massive multi-coloured vertical
cliffs and deep canyons and spectacular, accessible wilderness,
making it possible for all fitness levels to experience it's
splendours. |

other west coast trail" on southern Vancouver Island;
with overnights at Sooke Harbour House and Soul Creek Lodge
in Port Renfrew. |
Catherine D’Aoust, President
of GAIA Adventures asked her clients this question after completing
the 2007 Grand Canyon adventure: "What do women need to enhance
their life?"
The women said, given
the option, they would prefer hard challenges followed
by pampering and luxurious end-of-day indulgences.
"The reason is simple," D'Aoust says. "It's
a smart use of money and time with high levels of accomplishment.
Not everyone is physically ready to backpack, or has sufficient time
to train for it." It's a dream come true.
Princess Adventures brings
women together, sharing and connecting their spirit and the world
around them, in ancient, wildly exotic and strikingly beautiful places.
It's not about fitness anymore: You can travel light
and fast and enjoy the trip. Clients will not be lugging around that
heavy 40 to 50 pounds backpack on these adventures.
Princess Adventures is for the
everyday woman - the professional, the urban mother, the boomer
- who always wanted to hike in the Grand Canyon or on the West
Coast Trail.
The trip is geared for "luxury" with overnights
at famous bed and breakfasts like the Soul Creek Lodge in Port
Renfrew and Sooke Harbour House in Sooke, and enjoying wonderful
locally prepared gourmet food.
"And don't think these adventures are merely pamper
clubs," says D'Aoust. "It's lonely at the top, and it's
healthy to be in the company of women who think big."
Members are selected for their willingness
to share their experience and for their strength of character. One
of the major benefits is a cross-fertilization of strengths.
Some
of the best challenges come from women who aren't locked into historical
ways of thinking.
