Epic Universe is now open to all guests and has brought with it a new

has curated two limited edition "" trips focused on protecting these revered landscapes, launching this June. Blending the concept of adventure with activism, each trip will be led by a professional guide and guest activist for the first time to lead in-depth discussions on the importance of our parks while experiencing them firsthand.

"We are at such a critical moment for our parks – arguably one of the most critical moments for our parks in my lifetime – where we're seeing billion dollar cuts to our National Park Service and the stewardship of that land, while simultaneously might be seeing a future where generations aren't afforded what we all have access when we were there," said Wawa Gatheru, one of the Active-ism trip hosts and founder of the nonprofit Black Girl Environmentalist that works to close the gap of climate justice and education.The Active-ism trips will take travelers to two of the most iconic U.S. national parks, the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone. There, they'll hike, connect with local communities, and have discussions guided by their activist host on topics such as what challenges parks are currently facing and how we can empower ourselves to make change."Just going to our national parks is a form of activism, going and experiencing will mean you're more passionate, more curious, and will take more action afterwards," said Leigh Barnes, president of the Americas for Intrepid Travel. The company will also donate $50,000 to nongovernmental organizations protecting the U.S. national parks. "Not only do we have great people leading and adding to them, but just by going and experiencing it, you're going to be creating positive change."

The Active-ism trips are also more affordable, up to $600 cheaper than other Intrepid trips. The group size will max out at 10 people for a more intimate travel environment.Intrepid carefully curated the activists hosts the trip to ensure they could kick-start conversations about the intersectionality and inclusivity of environmentalism, according to Barnes. Although climate change impacts everyone, low-income communities that depend the most on natural resources are hit the hardest, according to

"We see more First Nations People, more BIPOC people that are disproportionately impacted by climate change, so wanting to be able to focus on two sides of that coin and have those conversations," Barnes said. These trips hope to shed light on how U.S. national parks are truly for everyone.

For drag queen, environmentalist, and Intrepid partner Pattie Gonia, our national parks were a way for her to not only connect with nature but also with other people. "I started hiking in heels to let my queerness shine, but along the way, I met thousands of park rangers, scientists, advocates, and organizations who opened my eyes to the challenges facing our public lands," Gonia told USA TODAY in a statement.Her chosen palette of beige, navy, cream, and more beige evokes more of a yawn than a jealous whisper—and that's true to life, rather than fashion. Her moodboard was not full of runway looks or celebrities, but rather "real-life hedge fund CEOs and their families, images of wealthy country club members, and wealthy suburban wives." These nameless, faceless references helped build a visual world that more accurately depicts quiet luxury attire than TikTok ever could.

"The quiet luxury world of online often still consists of louder, flashier luxury pieces, which doesn’t always align with the true wealthy of the world," the costume designer explains. Rather, she turned to brands like Brunello Cucinelli, Zegna, Carolina Herrera, Hermès, and Khaite to execute her vision."These people convey wealth through their demeanor, their homes, their country club memberships, their watches and the carats of their rings—so, in service of that reality, it was an intentional choice to keep some of the neighbors more subdued and elegant," she says, adding that Coop's ex wife's new boyfriend and former NBA player, Nick (Mark Tallman), is an exception to the rule with his Louis Vuitton and Gucci.

The resulting look reveals that blending in is more important to these characters than standing out. They want their moneyed peers to intuit their wealth, but not necessarily the rest of us. It's not sculptural or textured in the way the more buzzy "quiet luxury" outfits appear. This is not Pheobe Philo's latest drop or the' eccentric personal style (although the costume designers did pull pieces from The Row), but clothes an unimaginative yet quality-obsessed conformist might find on the rack of a high-end department store.
