Just over a century ago John Wesley Powell led the first group of scientists into the incorrigible territory now known as the Colorado River plateau. Since Powell's original journey, naturalists from around the globe have visited Canyonlands to study its remarkable variety of plants, animals, and geologic landscapes. This trip is an opportunity to join Holiday guides in an exploration of natural history. Whether young or old, if your excited by discovery, this trip will be at the top of your "best vacations list"! Click here and read more about our Yampa River, and Lodore Canyon river trips.
