I would like to extend an invitation to join us on one of our annual expeditions. The title for this trip is a little misleading. While we will be spending time on the Navajo Nation, much of the time will be on public land. The goal of the trip, as always, is to visit little known places that either offer spectacular scenery or a cultural education, (or both), using 4WD. The trip will take place on both Navajo land and public land. I should also be clear that a great deal of the trip will concentrate on the unparalleled scenery that Northern Arizona and Southern Utah offer. These two goals will take us on a two week trip covering several distinct locations, listed below.

Trip Details:
1. Dates - Monday May 26, 2014 through June 8, 2014.
2. Vehicle limit - 6
3. Vehicle requirements - high clearance 4 wheel drive. The trails will be easy to moderate.
4. Itinerary: - Alstrom Point (Lake Powell) - Water Holes Cyn - Navajo Natl Monument (Keet Seel) - Valley of the Gods - Dark Canyon - Beef Basin - Fable Valley - Natural Bridges National Monument - Hunt’s Mesa - Coal Mine Cyn - Canyon de Chelly
NOTE: I have arranged or will be arranging for all of the camping and hiking permits for Indian land. The hiking and camping fees are very modest. I have also arranged for a guide for a total of 4 (possibly 5) days for the visit to Hunt's Mesa and Canyon de Chelly. Guide fees will be approximately $80.00 per day per person. Non Navajo may not travel beyond the main roads without a Navajo guide or permit.
