Arizona in the Saddle | Page 32

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.
