🍁 BADDIES TAKE GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS & SHENANDOAH
📅 October 10–14 | 5 Days | Women Only
🚗 3 MOUNTAIN REGIONS. 2 COZY HOMES. 1 EPIC FALL ROAD TRIP.
This isn't your typical LA Hiking Baddies trip.
We're flying across the country, picking up the cars, and spending five unforgettable days road tripping through some of the most beautiful mountain landscapes on the East Coast during fall foliage season. 🍁
Our adventure takes us through:
🍁 Shenandoah
🌄 The Blue Ridge Mountains
🏔️ Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Imagine crisp autumn mornings, golden forests stretching across endless mountain ridgelines, sunrise hikes above valleys filled with mist, waterfalls tucked between colorful trees, scenic overlooks, winding mountain roads, cozy evenings, and five days exploring with an incredible group of adventurous women.
And instead of staying in one place, we're taking the adventure with us.
We'll stay in TWO different mountain homes along our route, allowing us to continue moving through the mountains instead of wasting hours backtracking every day.
This is part hiking adventure, part girls' getaway, part fall road trip — and completely unforgettable.
💛 AND YES, YOU CAN COME SOLO.
Many of our Baddies join without knowing a single person.
You don't need a travel buddy. You don't need to convince your friends to take the same vacation days. And you definitely don't need to plan a complicated East Coast mountain road trip yourself.
Book your spot. Pack your bags. Meet us on the East Coast. We'll take it from there.
⚠️ LIMITED SPOTS AVAILABLE — ONCE OUR ROOM OPTIONS ARE FILLED, REGISTRATION WILL CLOSE.

👯♀️ THE LA HIKING BADDIES EXPERIENCE
You're not simply purchasing four nights in mountain houses.
You're joining a curated five-day adventure with women ready to hike, road trip, laugh, explore, connect, challenge themselves, and make memories together.
💛 COMING SOLO? YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
Don't let waiting for someone else keep you from traveling.
Many women join LA Hiking Baddies trips completely solo.
You don't need to find someone who has the same budget.
You don't need someone with the same vacation days.
You don't need a friend who has the same bucket list.
And you don't need to organize the entire adventure yourself.
Just come. 💛
You'll meet women who also love adventure, hiking, travel, beautiful places, trying new things, and making memories.
Many Baddies arrive knowing no one and leave with new friendships and future travel buddies.
If you're thinking:
"This sounds amazing, but I don't have anyone to go with..."
That's exactly why you should come with us.
Your next adventure buddy might already be signed up.
🚗 HOW THIS ADVENTURE WORKS
This is a destination road trip, which makes it different from many of our other LA Hiking Baddies adventures.
First, we'll fly to the East Coast.
Then we'll meet up, get into our shared rental vehicles, and begin our road trip through the mountains.
We'll travel through:
🍁 Shenandoah
⬇️
🌄 Blue Ridge Mountains
⬇️
🏔️ Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Along the way, expect:
🥾 Hiking
💦 Waterfalls
🌄 Scenic overlooks
🍂 Fall foliage
📸 Photo stops
🚗 Beautiful mountain drives
🏡 Two different mountain homes
😂 Lots of laughs in the cars
💛 Plenty of Baddie memories
The road trip itself is part of the experience.
This isn't a trip where we stay in one city and return to the same house every night.
We're exploring our way through the mountains.
✈️ FLYING TO THE EAST COAST
Flights are NOT included in your trip package.
However, you won't be left to figure out the logistics on your own.
LA Hiking Baddies will provide flight guidance based on the trip itinerary.
Most of our group will be traveling from LAX, but you absolutely do NOT need to live in Los Angeles to join us.
We have Baddies join our adventures from cities and states across the country.
You can fly from your home airport and meet us on the East Coast.
✈️ IMPORTANT
Because this is a road trip, we plan to arrive through one airport and depart through a different airport near our final destination.
Please WAIT FOR OUR FLIGHT GUIDANCE BEFORE PURCHASING AIRFARE so your flights coordinate with the trip schedule.
If you're flying from LAX, you'll also have the option to book the same or a similar flight as the main group.
✈️ You book your flight.
💛 We provide the guidance.
🚗 We meet on the East Coast.
🍁 Then the adventure begins.
🚙 TRANSPORTATION DURING THE TRIP
Once we meet on the East Coast, we'll travel together in shared rental vehicles throughout the road trip.
Rental vehicles and transportation expenses are NOT included in the trip package.
LA Hiking Baddies will provide coordination assistance so attendees can organize shared vehicles and drivers.
Sharing vehicles allows Baddies to split applicable rental and road-trip expenses while experiencing the adventure together.
EXPECT:
🚗 Several hours of scenic driving throughout the five days
🌄 National Park roads + beautiful mountain highways
🍁 Drives surrounded by incredible fall scenery
📸 Stops at overlooks, trails, waterfalls + scenic locations
👯♀️ Shared rental vehicles with other Baddies
🚘 More than one willing driver per vehicle is strongly recommended
✈️ A different departure airport from our arrival airport
🏡 WHY WE HAVE TWO MOUNTAIN HOMES
Most LA Hiking Baddies trips have one house for the entire adventure.
This trip is different because we're ROAD TRIPPING.
Instead of exploring all day and then driving hours backward just to sleep in the same house, we'll keep moving along our route.
🏡 STAY 1 | OCTOBER 10–12
We'll begin our adventure near our first mountain region and spend our first two nights together.
🚗 OCTOBER 12 | ROAD-TRIP DAY
We'll check out, load our luggage into the vehicles, continue exploring, and make our way toward the Smokies.
🏡 STAY 2 | OCTOBER 12–14
We'll spend our final two nights closer to our remaining adventures and departure airport.
💛 IMPORTANT
You are NOT purchasing two separate accommodations.
Your ONE trip booking includes your sleeping arrangements at BOTH houses.
🛏️ HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR ROOM
Because we're staying in two houses, your room selection works a little differently than our typical trips.
Each checkout option includes your sleeping assignment for BOTH accommodations.
For example:
🏡 Stay 1: Queen Bed
+
🏡 Stay 2: Queen/King Bunk
Together, those make up ONE booking option.
Because each home has a different layout, you may not have the exact same bed type at both houses.
⚠️ Please carefully review BOTH sleeping arrangements associated with your package before completing checkout.
🏡 STAY 1 | OCTOBER 10–12
Bedroom 1
• 1 King Bed | Sleeps 2
Bedroom 2
• 1 King Bed | Sleeps 2
Bedroom 3
• 1 Queen Bed | Sleeps 2
Bedroom 4
• 2 Queen Beds | Sleeps 4
Bedroom 5
• 1 Queen-over-Queen Bunk | Sleeps 4
Bedroom 6
• 2 Double-over-Double Bunks | Sleeps 8
🏡 STAY 2 | OCTOBER 12–14
Bedroom 1
• 1 King Bed | Sleeps 2
Bedroom 2
• 1 King Bed | Sleeps 2
Bedroom 3
• 1 Queen Bed | Sleeps 2
Bedroom 4
• 1 Queen/King Bunk | Sleeps 4
Bedroom 5
• 1 Queen/King Bunk | Sleeps 4
Bedroom 6
• 1 Queen-over-Queen Bunk | Sleeps 4
Bedroom 7
• 2 Twin Bunk Beds | Sleeps 4
Our accommodations are selected for their location, comfort, group space, and access to our road-trip route.
This is not a luxury resort vacation.
Think cozy mountain homes, shared spaces, beautiful surroundings, and nights spent bonding with the Baddies after full days of exploring. 💛
🍂📸 PACK A PRETTY FALL DRESS!
We can't road trip through gorgeous fall scenery without getting some amazing Baddie photos!
Save a little room in your suitcase for a pretty fall dress, cute autumn outfit, or whatever makes you feel beautiful.
Somewhere along our adventure, we'll plan an opportunity for a fun fall photoshoot surrounded by gorgeous autumn scenery. 🍁
Think:
🍂 Flowing dresses
🤎 Cozy fall tones
👢 Cute boots
🍁 Golden leaves
🌄 Mountain views
📸 Dreamy fall-girl photos

💰 YOUR 5-DAY FALL ADVENTURE

We'll bring the Baddies. 💛
🍂 YOUR FALL ROAD TRIP IS WAITING
Five days.
Three iconic mountain regions.
Two cozy mountain homes.
One unforgettable road trip.
We'll fly to the East Coast, meet up, load the cars, and spend the next five days chasing fall colors through some of the most beautiful mountain landscapes in the country.
Imagine crisp mornings.
Golden forests.
Winding mountain roads.
Sunrise fog.
Waterfalls.
Mountain overlooks.
Laughter in the cars.
Cute fall photos.
Cozy evenings back at the house.
And a group of women who may start the trip as strangers and end it with memories they'll share forever.
A few weeks from now, you could be standing above a glowing mountain valley thinking:
"I'm so glad I came."
Don't wait for someone else's schedule.
Don't wait until "next fall."
🍁 SHENANDOAH IS GLOWING.
🏔️ THE SMOKIES ARE CALLING.

FAQ
FAQ
Q: What is the age range of the group?
A: Our group is open to women aged 21 and above, which gives us a diverse age range of attendees. From 21-year-olds to 75-year-olds, our events attract a diverse group of women who share a passion for an active lifestyle. What may surprise you is that, contrary to common assumptions, physical appearance provides little insight into someone's age in our group. We encourage individuals to show up and let go of any insecurities they may have. Join us and be part of a supportive community where age is just a number!
Q: What are shared trip accommodations like?
A: One of the highlights of Baddies trips is the opportunity to stay in luxury homes. This aspect of our trips offers a unique and indulgent experience that allows us to unwind and indulge in comfort. We prioritize location, amenities, and ambiance. we ensure that our homes are nestled in beautiful and serene surroundings, providing the perfect backdrop for our adventures. The attention to detail in each home we select is impeccable, creating a luxurious atmosphere that is both inviting and indulgent.
To provide the best possible value, the accommodations offered are shared. This means that you will share the space with other Baddies. By opting for shared occupancy, you can enjoy the luxury of a top-end property at a lower cost per person. Please note that prices listed are per person, inclusive of the amenities and services mentioned above. If you are more comfortable with your own space, you have the option to reserve both spots on a single bed.
Q: What is an "Air Mattress Spot"?
A: I examined the layout of the house and devised a plan that would enable all Baddies, regardless of their financial situation, to enjoy an affordable trip. To strike a balance between affordability and quality, I strategically incorporated Air Mattress Spots into the house design. Please note that participants are responsible for bringing their own air mattresses and all necessary items.
Q: What if I purchased a spot for a friend?
