EasyFor people looking to exercise their minds more than their bodies. There’s minimal walking and not too many stairs.
ModerateThese programs get you on your feet and include activities such as walking up to a mile in a day through a city and standing in a museum for a few hours.
ActiveFor people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately ChallengingFor hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.
ChallengingGet ready to keep up with our highest-energy group. These demanding — and rewarding — programs are for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts.
On this in-depth exploration of the native cultures of northern Arizona, stay on both the Navajo and Hopi reservations and encounter enduring cultures, native speakers and artisans who share insights into their life ways. Visit either the Hopi village of Old Oraibi or Walpi, each one of the oldest inhabited communities and dramatically situated atop a windswept mesa. At Canyon de Chelly, field trips to both its rims and interior will leave you awestruck. Experience Monument Valley’s exquisite formations and sweeping vistas, scene of many iconic western movies.


Highlights

• Enjoy two Navajo-guided 4x4 adventures – into Canyon de Chelly National Monument and Monument Valley – to see ruins, petroglyphs, hogans, and inspiring natural beauty.
• Enjoy a docent-led field trip to Phoenix' famed Heard Museum, telling the stories of American Indian people and showcasing their art.
• Visit historic Hubble Trading post on the Navajo reservation, and hear from both Navajo and Hopi speakers about their enduring cultures and modern struggles.

Activity Notes

Walk one mile, uneven terrain. Elevation 7,000 feet.
