The girls took a trip to Red Mountain Spa in St. George Utah last week for four days. Honestly, I think we were all set with very low expectations and much to our surprise we were pleasantly and most definitely thrilled with the experience. I exercised between 4 and 5 hours a day. I hiked nearly 20 miles in three days. The food was amazing, the grounds were stunning and you can make as much or as little as you would like from your trip there. And best yet, they are currently charging less than $200 a night for a completely inclusive experience (food, lodging and all the activities you can do). I would recommend this for anyone. Guys, gals, big, little, young and old... We met many wonderful and amazing people all there for very different reasons. For next time, I will remember to bring my bike shorts (they provide bikes for you to take out for day trips) and a good hydration pack for hiking. Below is the itinerary for my first 1.5 days there and a link to some pictures:
