Our tour begins with a ceremony of prayer to ready ourselves for entering the sacred lands of the Hopi, where we'll encounter an ancient people with a rich cultural heritage. The Hopi help to heal the earth through ceremonies still practiced as their ancestors did centuries ago. We will walk through sky island stone pueblo villages dating from the 900's and 1100's, still without electricity or running water. We will dine on native food at the Cultural Center. Our journey to Grand Canyon takes us through Oak Creek Canyon and the Painted Desert to one of the largest vortices on the earth.
Some people feel the energy in their hands or body at certain lookout points.
At the IMAX theatre you'll see the Grand Canyon as the eagle sees it, soaring along the inner canyon walls. Optional helicopter, train or plane tours are additional with prior arrangement. Parties of five or more receive an upgrade to lunch at an historic restaurant on the Rim, if available. We begin our day at the US Geological Survey where you'll learn about the geology of the earth, moon and solar system. We will visit the Observatory where Pluto was discovered, wander through some of the historic old town buildings on Route 66, along the railroad and other unique attractions depending upon availability.
