“This trip was amazing in every way! There wasn’t an item or situation that hadn’t been thought of or planned for; from packing lists to menus for every meal. It was the perfect mix of excitement & adventure and rest & relaxation. Our group of women was amazing and everyone made the trip special in different ways. Would definitely recommend this trip to any solo woman or small crew of ladies that is looking for an awesome adventure in the great outdoors!”

“A major highlight of my year was joining Babes Outside for an epic river trip. Not only did we have a ton of quality time in nature - sleeping under the stars, dining by the soothing sound of the river, swimming & soaking up the sun - but we also had an amazing time connecting with women of all walks of life. We shared many laughs, happy tears & intentional conversation. I felt like I left the trip with not only memories but new friends as well. I loved that all of the logistics were taken care of for us & we could simply enjoy the adventure. I also felt assured that we were going to have a great & safe time due to Caroline & Mia’s expertise & years of experience as guides. They definitely made me feel comfortable even with my bit of wary-ness around the rapids we were running. I would 100% recommend a Babes Outside trip to all my lady friends. It’s a guaranteed great time!”

“First off I just had the best time. Rafting down a beautiful river? CAN’T BE BEAT! Went into this trip knowing one person and feeling semi nervous about that but there was never an awkward moment of feeling like I only knew one person. Instantly jumped into getting to know everyone and sharing stories. Laughing (lots of laughing) telling jokes and playing games! There is something about disconnecting and getting outside of your comfort zone that makes for the best memories! Caroline and Mia never missed a beat- yes they were our trip leaders but also were the first to keep the vibes high and make sure we all had a great time!! What a simple idea of getting together a group of girls to go rafting but why isn’t everyone doing it?! It was so stinking fun. One of the first things I was told when I got back from my trip by my CrossFit coach was “I showed my daughter your trip and told her how cool that a group of girls can do anything they want!” That is something this trip made me remember because yeah how cool! ”

“I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a whitewater rafting adventure with Babes Outside, and was so impressed with the experience that they created for all of us on the trip!

Mia and Caroline expertly foster opportunities for women to come together to learn new skills and/or refine the ones they already have, and empower women to feel confident in the backcountry!

The level of expertise demonstrated by both women is truly impressive. Whether it's navigating through challenging whitewater, teaching essential wilderness skills, or leading epic backcountry skiing trips, they ensure that everyone feels safe and supported. Their dedication to safety never overshadows the fun and excitement of the adventure, perfectly balancing both.

If you're looking for a backcountry adventure that is empowering, inclusive, and just plain fun, I highly recommend Babes Outside. It’s a transformative experience that is sure to leave you feeling more connected to nature and to each other. Thank you, Mia and Caroline, for your incredible vision and commitment to creating welcoming and exciting opportunities for women to explore together outdoors!
