SEATTLE WASHINGTON - JULY 2024
We embarked on our 14th Annual Adventure Escape to the Pacific Northwest, exploring the stunning city of Seattle, Washington. Our base was the charming neighborhood of Queen Anne in Seattle, but each day we ventured into the vast, majestic landscapes of Mother Nature, embracing a sense of wonder and play.Our adventure began with white-water rafting in refreshingly cool waters—an exhilarating experience for everyone involved. Next, we tackled our fears with canyoneering, which included rappelling down canyons, floating through rapids, ziplining from one side of the canyon to the other, and jumping into crystal-clear, COLD swimming holes. We hiked through the whimsical Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest on the Pacific Crest Trail, biked to a picturesque mountain lake, kayaked in the seal-filled Puget Sound, and went whale watching for orcas.
PACIFIC NORTHWEST, OREGON - JULY 2023
iGnite headed to the beautiful state of Oregon for some a glorious adventure with friends in nature! Our home base was Beaverton, just outside of Portland, and made for the perfect beginning and end to each day. How’d we spend those days?
Once we arrived, we dropped our bags and hit the ground running, er, biking with an amazing tour (and a bit of history) of Portland. Day two we threw on our padded bike shorts for a trip to the Columbia River Valley, electric bikes and three breathtaking waterfall hikes along the route including Multnomah Falls, the second largest year-round falls in the United States at 620 feet! Were we done? We were not, we had a lovely late afternoon stop at a local lavender farm where we may have made many purchases. Day three found us on the North Santiam River for some rafting fun, a picnic halfway and perhaps some bull riding by brave souls at the front of the rafts. Then it was off to Silver Falls for something totally unique, scary awesome and exhausting fun – 225-foot redwood tree climbing at sunset. We rounded out the last day with a lighthouse visits, Cannon Beach adventures, in-town shopping, and a lovely and memorable final dinner.
ALMOST HEAVEN, WEST VIRGINIA - JULY 2022
There has never been a better time! We say this each year when we look back on our Summer Adventure Escape and it’s always 100% true! This year we ventured to the verdant beauty of West Virginia and were amazed by the natural beauty, friendly folks and outdoor fun we were able to jump into together! Clinging to sheer rock faces on an absolutely thrilling Via Ferrata, strategizing over paintball in the woods, taking in the glory of New River Gorge - the country’s newest National Park, off-roading up the mountains and through the mud on ATVs, and meandering along the Greenbrier River Trail through an old train tunnel to a gloriously cool swimming hole, laughing and talking all the way. Then, coming home exhausted but full of energy to our mountaintop hot tub and dinner waiting thanks to our new best friend, Chef Sean! If you’ve ever considered a trip with us, mark your calendars for the third week of July, who know what adventures we can have together!
GATLINBURG, TN - JULY 2021
Wow! There’s nothing like an iGnite Summer Adventure Escape and the Smokies are stunning. The sheer joy found is unexpected, out-in-nature, hiking, biking, kayaking, zip-lining, off-roading fun with a bunch of fun-loving women, just can’t be described.
“I loved every minute of it and want more!”

“The best part is everything is planned and taken care of you just get to enjoy!”

SUN VALLEY, IDAHO - JULY 2020
Our Sun Valley Adventure Escape couldn't have come at a better time, as we were all needing time away--time away to immerse ourselves nature, outdoor activity, laughter and girlfriends. As experienced in all of our Adventure Escapes, our 2020 Escape provided us with the much needed mental, emotional and spiritual lift that we took back to our families, community, work and beyond. Biking, hiking, rafting, boating, cliff jumping (for those who wanted to)-it was a heart and mind picker-uper!
WHITEFISH, MONTANA - JULY 2019
We escaped for 4 days & 4 nights of epic fun in the beautiful Montana mountains. We hiked, biked, rafted, rode horses, boated, enjoyed glaciers, went out dancing... in a nutshell, we balanced serious fun with awe-inspiring nature and authentic connection. These just keep getting better and better every year!
