Crow Canyon Archaeological Center Announces Grand Canyon Travel Adventure
Cortez, CO (PRWEB) October 30, 2013 -- The Crow Canyon Archaeological Center invites archaeology, history, and geology enthusiasts to spend a week on the Colorado River during its Grand Canyon River Adventure.
Led by Grand Canyon archaeologist Kimberly Spurr and Hopi anthropologist Lyle Balenquah, travelers will investigate the 5,000-year human history of the canyon while exploring ancient sites—some accessible only from the river. Explorers will float the river on dories, experience adrenaline-inducing whitewater, and camp along the river for seven nights. Stories woven throughout the trip will reveal the significance of the landscape for all Southwest tribes and the colorful history of early river runners such as Major John Wesley Powell.
The trip will run May 18–27, 2014. Dories will be rowed by professional guides. To sign up for the trip or to get more information, call 1-800-422-8975, ext. 136; e-mail travel(at)crowcanyon(dot)org; or visit crowcanyon.org/travel.
