The Southwest holds America's most fascinating archeological treasures. Renowned for the phenomenal rise of the Anasazi culture, that heritage continues today with the modern Hopi of northeastern Arizona and the Zuni of western New Mexico. Enjoy personal insights as Native American guides share their people's cultural achievements, historical struggles and modern challenges. In Flagstaff, visit the cliff dwellings at Walnut Canyon National Monument. At Hopi, visit Walpi, the oldest continually inhabited American settlement. At Canyon de Chelly enjoy a four wheel excursion into the heart of the canyon as well an introduction to Navajo culture. At Zuni, learn about the Spanish quest for the "Cities of Gold." Admire Katsina murals in a historic mission erected during Spanish colonization. Culminate your journey with a visit to the center of the Anasazi world, Chaco Canyon, and explore the architectural achievements of Pueblo Bonito, Chetro Ketl and the Great Kiva of Casa Rinconada.

Walking up to one mile daily, optional longer excursions.

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

Flagstaff

Nestled at the foot of the San Francisco Peaks in northern Arizona, Flagstaff is a perfect departure point for trips to the Glen and Grand canyons or Sunset Crater National Monument. At 7,000 feet in elevation, this cool mountain city is one of the highest in the nation.
