Tuesday, 22 October 2019: Morning Snow Canyon Walk; Afternoon Birding Excursion (B,L,D)

Right outside our back door a world of outdoor adventures awaits. Red and white Navajo sandstone capped by an overlay of black lava rock makes hiking, biking and photography in the local State and National parks an experience for the senses. The parks are an amazing display of desert animal life, unique botanicals and dynamic rock formations. Bordering Red Mountain, Snow Canyon State Park is home to 7,000 acres of canyons and cliffs, lava caves and two volcanic cones. We begin our adventure with a morning walk. After lunch and time exploring the resort, we'll travel as a group to the Tonaquint Nature Center, a green oasis in the middle of St. George that attracts more than 200 species of birds seasonally.


Wednesday, 23 October 2019: Morning Desert Walk; Afternoon Free Time (B,L,D)

We'll start our day with a walk through the demonstration desert garden in St. George. In this garden, there is a river modeled on the Virgin River that flows through the area. Our walk ends with a short hike across red rock to a high point overlooking the city that offers great views. This afternoon, there will be free time to explore or enjoy the variety of spa options at the resort.


Thursday, 24 October 2019: Morning Nature Hike; Free Afternoon; Lava Tubes (B,L,D)

On today's hike, we take the time to admire the desert scenery with stops for photos and guide interpretations. This afternoon, there are a variety of activities at the resort that might interest you, including fitness classes and lectures or simply relaxing poolside. This evening, we will discover the underground world! We have the opportunity to enter a lava tube during a beautiful sunset and learn about the geologic forces that created this unique feature of Snow Canyon State Park.


Friday, 25 October 2019: Morning Nature Hike; Afternoon Free; Farewell Dinner (B,L,D)

Enjoy another lovely morning on a hike with your fellow travelers. Then, the remainder of the afternoon is free. Perhaps a fitness class appeals to you or pure relaxation...the choice is yours! Tonight, we'll enjoy our Farewell Dinner together.

Destination Information

I was worried about fitting in. I did not want to be the only solo traveler, or find out I was decades younger than the next youngest women on the tour. I called the office and asked my questions. Dee [a WTT employee] reassured me that neither would happen, no matter what tour I picked. I just want to thank Dee for her encouragement to give it a try. Love Love Love WTT.

“I thoroughly enjoyed this trip. The women were very friendly and supportive, the Tour Leader was excellent and the many choices of daily activities were great.”
Jane M. - Darien, IL

  • Or, you may select a single room, when available, on the Reservation Form and your tour price will be automatically based on the single room price.

  • Most solo travelers elect to share a room
  • All shared rooms are non-smoking
  • No special requests about your roommate can be accommodated
  • See "Frequently Asked Questions" for more details
As a solo traveler you are responsible for yourself, your possessions, your physical fitness, and all other aspects related to participation in the WTT tour you have chosen. Because of this requirement, WTT tours are not suitable for anyone who is physically challenged, walking impaired, or is a slow walker that cannot keep up with the pace of the group.

The activities on this tour are rated as follows:
  • 70% Easy
  • 30% Moderate (Hiking)
Activity levels are subjective and based on the reader's interpretation. Almost everyone overestimates their abilities. Therefore, it is your responsibility to read the itinerary and understand what you are doing throughout the tour.

If you are in doubt as to your ability to meet any of these physical activity requirements, you should not sign up for this trip.

For This Trip You Will Need—

  • Shoes with good traction and ankle support for hiking or walking

You May Also Want—

  • Lightweight but warm jacket/sweater for the cool mornings and evenings or the unusually brisk day. Dressing in layers is recommended.
  • Sunscreen
  • Brimmed hat
  • Swimsuit
  • Workout clothes
  • Aerobic shoes with non-marking soles
  • Smart-casual wear if you'd like to dress up a bit for dinners.  However, Red Mountain Resort is a very casual atmosphere, relaxed and informal attire is fine.
  • Bring what you need to get a good night's sleep, such as ear plugs, white noise generator, sleeping pills, etc. Unfamiliar noises of all types can disrupt your rest.

Good Packing Habits—

  • Pack a limited amount of comfortable, casual clothing that layer and coordinate. Your fellow travelers will not mind or even notice – seeing you in the same clothing.
  • Bring only two pairs of everyday shoes: one pair of well-broken-in walking shoes, and a second pair that could do double-duty as a walking shoe or a slightly dressy shoe.
  • Pare down your beauty regimen to the bare minimum and always pack travel-sized toiletries.
  • Pack medication in your carry-on and pack only as much as needed for the duration of your tour plus a few extra days as a precaution.
On every WTT tour, our policies regarding luggage restrictions are driven by the requirement that all travelers be able to manage their own belongings without assistance.
  • We strongly recommend you bring only one suitcase plus small shoulder bag/day pack/purse.
  • You are responsible for managing your own belongings.

Only you can determine the optimum amount of cash to take on tour. When budgeting for out-of-pocket expenses, there are several aspects to consider:  the number of meals you are responsible for, the amount of money you like to have on-hand for snacks and drinks, and your individual shopping interests and habits.

  • Notify your credit card issuer that you will be traveling and provide dates of travel.

Tipping is pre-paid for any service that is part of the tour package. For your convenience a 15% gratuity is added to one-on-one services you book on your own.

  • You may want to tip your WTT Tour Leader for an outstanding job. The amount is entirely a personal preference. If you'd like a guideline, consider $5-$8 per day. 
Make reservations for services AFTER you receive your Final Travel Instructions (about 30 days before the retreat begins) so you know when the group sessions are planned and when you have personal time.
