On Tuesday, September 9th, Girls Only Adventure Trips gathered for a Hiking Happy Hour like no other! This time, we set our sights on the gorgeous Bloods Lake trail in Park City—a local favorite for its mix of forest shade, vibrant wildflowers, and the stunning payoff at the lake itself.
Our group hit the trail in the late afternoon, making our way up the steady incline while chatting, laughing, and soaking in that crisp mountain air that reminds us why Utah is such a gem. As we reached Bloods Lake, we were greeted with calm waters surrounded by golden light from the setting sun—an absolutely perfect backdrop for a happy hour toast.
Everyone unpacked their snacks and drinks, from sparkling waters to trail-friendly beverages, and we circled up by the lakeshore. It was the best kind of happy hour: one filled with connection, stories, and the reminder that spending time outside together fills us up in more ways than one.
Whether it was someone’s first GOAT event or their tenth, the energy was the same—supportive, welcoming, and a little silly (because what’s happy hour without a laugh or two?). As the evening cooled, we hiked back down under a sky slowly shifting into twilight, hearts full and spirits lifted.
Girls Only Adventure Trips is all about blending adventure with community, and this Hiking Happy Hour proved that sometimes the simplest outings—like a walk up a mountain trail with friends and a toast by a lake—are the ones we’ll remember most.
