The American West
Words fail most visitors to the National Parks of America's West. Spectacular vistas and sublime panoramic views awaken one's sense of wonder and awe. Students will explore the abandoned pueblo ruins of the vanished Anasazi, hear tales of the exploits of the mountain men and cowboys who roamed the region, follow in the footsteps of the pioneers, and experience the traditional dances, arts and crafts of today's Native Americans. Hiking, biking, and white water rafting take the traveler into the heart of a landscape unlike any other.
