Your hosts, Vaughn and Marcia Hadenfeldt, offer adventures designed specifically for the individual or group. Most trips are led by Vaughn who has spent over 20 years exploring and guiding in the region. His passion for archaeological sites, especially rock art, is what distinguishes our trips. We’ve spent years in the field seeking out the sometimes subtle, elusive, less visited remains of prehistoric cultures. We cherish these areas and take our responsibility of visiting these sites very seriously. By sharing our knowledge we hope to instill an admiration of the prehistory and landscape as well as an understanding of their preservation and care to all who would travel here.

"Nuances of canyonscape, vestigial Anasazi ruins, all-but-vanished panels of prehistoric rock art, mountain lion tracks, inscriptions scratched by cowboys with bullet lead on sandstone walls a century ago--all these prodigies of the outback Vaughn manages to discover in places where I would have passed them blithely and ignorantly by."
