    Ep. 10 | Girls' Camping Trip to the Bottom of Horseshoe Bend: What We Learned

    Four women, four paddleboards, 15 miles of the Colorado River, and one night sleeping beneath the walls of Horseshoe Bend. Paige and Jenna came home sore, tired, and already wanting another adventure. But what stayed with them most wasn’t the distance they paddled.

IN THIS EPISODE: ☀️ How a goal to use Paige’s paddleboards more often eventually turned into four women camping beneath Horseshoe Bend ☀️ The surreal experience of seeing their campsite from the overlook one day, then looking back up at it from the Colorado River the next ☀️ Why having nowhere to be, no one needing anything from them, and almost nothing on the agenda became one of the best parts of the trip ☀️ What Paige and Jenna noticed when they took away the music, scrolling, schedules, and constant stimulation and let the canyon fill the quiet instead ☀️ The weather fears they carried into the trip, the preparation that helped them feel safer, and how previous outdoor adventures had slowly built their confidence ☀️ Why the sore shoulders, sleeping on the ground, and other discomforts weren’t really the point—and how the contrast made ordinary comforts at home feel completely different MENTIONED / LINKS: Kayak the ColoradoPaige and Alex's Backpacking Havasupai VlogLuxefly BasecampCONNECT WITH US Join our email list for weekly sunshine mail: wakeupsunshine.co Instagram: @‌wakeupsunshinepodcast Enjoyed this episode?
