Project Exploration:
Learning Through Field Trips
F
ounded in 1977, Project
Exploration, Inc., has
safely taken several
generations of students on
science field trips throughout
the southwest. Our emphasis
on safety, organization, and
attention to detail has allowed
us to be a sole provider in
this unique service. Our
knowledgeable staff keeps
students entertained, engaged,
and learning while we travel
and share the many treasures
of the southwest.
This NEW trip has everything
you are looking for when discovering Northern
Arizona! After a night traveling on the bus we will
eat breakfast in Page and then onto our floating
raft experience down a very calm portion of the
Colorado River. During our rafting experience
we will be instructed on the geology and travel
the path that begins the Grand Canyon. Stopping
32
June 2014
to see ancient petroglyphs and
traveling through the famous
Horseshoe Bend area will be the
educational highlights of the day.
After a picnic lunch at Lees Ferry
we’ll board the bus again and stop
at Wupatki and Sunset Crater
National Monument to learn more
about the fascinating geological
and archaeological history of our
great state. After
dinner in Flagstaff,
we will retire to a
local motel. The
second day we will
travel to the South
Entrance of the
Grand Canyon and the following
activities will take place: IMAX
movie “Hidden Secrets of the
Grand Canyon”, a guided nature
hike along the South Rim where
we will learn more about the local
flora and fauna, geology, and
history of this treasure of the southwest, a visit to
the Desert View overlook to see another inspiring
view of one of the natural wonders of the world,
and a dinner stop in Flagstaff before returning
home.
