After several hours of optional hiking and exploring, we depart from Zion National Park and begin our return 4.5-hour drive to Salt Lake City.

Jessica
Had an amazing trip with SupYo to Bryce and Zion in Utah. I was traveling solo and the meet and greet dinner was a great opportunity to meet the group before the trip began. Jana picked a wonderful tour group to take us through a week of hiking and camping, making sure we saw all of the incredible scenery.
Lauren
Best travel retreats! Very organized, great guides and a good mix of activities + yoga! I most recently went to Utah with the SUPYO group and enjoyed all the hiking and views with great meals provided.

This was one of the best trips I’ve been on. A friend of mine who had taken another trip with SUP YO invited me to go with her. There were 12 of us and everyone got along. I don’t know if the type of vacation (hiking and camping) helped to self select the people but by the end of the week we had gotten really close as a group. SUP YO also picked amazing guides. They were fun, funny, knowledgeable, and basically one of the gang with guide authority. The owner of the company came with us on this trip. She was fun, did everything we did, never put on any airs, and I felt like she was “one of us.”. All of the food, hotel, etc was taken care of. We even celebrated a birthday for one one of the hikers in the group! I am looking for more trips to go on with SUP YO and a group of us are planning to go in another trip or a weekend hike together again!!
