"Colorado, Utah & Arizona! Visit the soaring rocky mountains, raft thrilling whitewater rivers and explore the magnificent Grand Canyon!
HIKE THE GRAND CANYON & SWIM IN WATERFALLS
Our Southwest adventure begins with a trek into the magnificence of Arizona's Grand Canyon where the stark desert transforms into a tropical oasis. This backpack is rated one of the world's ten best! Home to the Havasupai Indians for centuries, this breathtaking canyon is rife with lush vegetation, towering waterfalls and idyllic swimming holes. We spend four days relaxing and exploring in the sparkling turquoise pools of Mooney and Havasu Falls.
UTAH N.P. SERVICE PROJECT & HORSEBACK ADVENTURE
We then head north to Utah and ""give back"" with a conservation project near Capitol Reef National Park, one of Utah's best-kept secrets. Next, we saddle up with real cowboys in central Utah on a four-day horseback adventure through the Rocky Mountains. This classic western experience includes roping skills, horse care, primitive living skills and sunset feasts!
WHITE WATER RAFTING ON THE COLORADO RIVER
During our three-day Colorado River whitewater rafting trip, we plunge through class III and IV rapids such as ""Skull"" and ""Room of Doom"" and camp on beaches before disembarking near Arches National Park. We complete our adventure with a backpack through Utah's pristine mountains, perfecting our wilderness skills and enjoying our last days together."
