Desert Adventures: One Lake, Six Friends, Endless Activities
In the 1960s, the 700-foot-high Glen Canyon Dam, an artificial marvel, transformed a vast stretch of sandstone canyons into a desert oasis, creating one of America’s most unique playgrounds for adventure: Lake Powell. With nearly 2,000 miles of winding shoreline – more than the entire West Coast of the US – with towering buttes above, twisting waterways, and hidden grottos, the lake is ideally explored by the water. And for one group of six friends, they did just that, and this dramatic landscape was theirs to enjoy for a long weekend. [...]
Off-Grid Group Luxe: A Journey Through Great Wilderness
America’s national parks are where time slows, and the landscape speaks louder than any noise. These protected destinations, full of canyons, rivers, and mountain passes, are more than just awe-inspiring scenery; they are sacred places that leave a long-lasting impression. Our EXP Guides—awarded for being national park specialists by multiple leading voices in travel—don’t just lead you through them but connect you with the roots of the lands in a deeper, more meaningful way. Recently, a group of four couples had the opportunity to enjoy a week-long adventure across the American Southwest. This wasn’t just your average road trip [...]
Denali Dreaming
When a group of 10 guys came to EXP Journeys asking to explore the great outdoors in a less-traveled destination, we knew The Last Frontier, with its jagged peaks, untouched rivers, and remote glaciers, was the perfect setting. Departing from the largest seaplane base in the world, Lake Hood, the group loaded into two seaplanes and began their journey east towards the Alaska Range and their base for the week at the foot of Denali National Park: Chelatna Lake Lodge. Upon arrival the guests were greeted by their hosts and guides, and [...]
Telluride Treasures
Located in a box canyon surrounded by some of Colorado’s most rugged peaks, Telluride is a small town with a rich history that includes colorful stories of the gold rush and outlaws of the wild west. EXP hosted a multigenerational family in several residences at the stunning Element 52 Resort for a summer reunion that neither the 7- nor 70-year-olds will soon forget. When they arrived in town, the family thought they were gathering to enjoy each other’s company in a stunning mountain setting – they weren’t mistaken, but they quickly learned [...]
70th Birthday Celebration on the Colorado
Milestone birthdays are some of our favorite occasions for taking multiple generations of a family exploring. To celebrate the patriarch of this particular family turning 70, EXP crafted the perfect blend of luxury and adventure – rafting to a private, exclusive camp set up along the banks of the Colorado River in one of the most remote locations in the region. The family members arrived into Moab, Utah and were escorted to a private lunch site to be briefed on the upcoming adventure. Spring in the Southwest had sprung, and the [...]
Monument Valley Annular Solar Eclipse
The annular eclipse is a celestial event that occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth while at its farthest point from Earth, making the apparent size of the Moon smaller than that of the Sun. Since the star is not completely covered, a remarkable visual effect often referred to as “ring of fire” appears. To celebrate this phenomenon, a group of 16 friends embarked on a 7-day, 6-night journey through the Southwest, including a viewing of the annular eclipse in the heart of Monument Valley surrounded sandstone walls and spectacular rock formations. [...]
