Itinerary: Lake Powell, AZ 5 nights


Hiking boots and a daypack are your ticket to some magical forays into the Lake Powell area. Discover some of canyon country's secret treasures--hidden arches, slot canyons, ancient petroglyphs, surrealistic rock formations and matchless panoramic vistas. Naturalist guides and instructors reveal the geologic forces that have shaped these magical landforms. Learn about the dinosaurs, plants and animals, prehistoric Indians, Mormon pioneers, dam builders, and contemporary culture that have used, enjoyed, and defined themselves against this landscape. Daily hikes will explore Paria Wilderness, Navajoland and Grand Staircase/Escalante National Monument. Evening lectures and entertainment will top off this unforgettable week.



Daily hikes of 3-6 miles, ranging from easy to moderately challenging, including cross-country and some rugged terrain, some rock scrambling required on one hike; no extended uphill climbs.



Program in association with Northern Arizona University, offering educational Southwestern adventures for over 25 years.
