If you ever wanted to enlist on a Southwest expedition that
encompassed many different fields of interest, investigate
this famous Museum’s offerings first! MNA’s
ongoing projects in paleontology, geology, and natural
sciences are world-renowned and offer the public outstanding
Venture Programs, Discovery Programs, and Custom Tours
that explore the natural wonders, cultures, and history
of the Colorado Plateau region. Ranked by the time
required and physical commitment involved, the Venture
Program offers Encounters, Excursions, Explorations,
and Expeditions. There are incredible opportunities
at every level. As an example, my geologist friend,
Wayne Ranney, author of the first book on Sedona’s
geology, Sedona Through Time, leads a 6-day Rim-to-Rim
geological expedition in the Grand Canyon, a demanding
and totally rewarding 24-mile, one-way apssage considered
by many to be the ultimate Grand Canyon experience.
On a shorter, milder note are a five-day Canyon de
Chelly explorations with archaeologist Don Keller,
a 3-day Hole-in-the-Rock Trail excursion in Utah with
noted zoologist, geologist, and naturalist Stewart
Aitchison, or a one-day encounter called an Introduction
to Hopi Culture hosted in Hopiland by Susan Secakuku.
Even if they don’t fit your personal passions,
you might want to send your daughter or son on one
of these trips as a truly meaningful graduation present.
