Far Out ExpeditionS: We'll take you as far out as you want to go!
 
Cedar Mesa and Beyond

 


by Jay Willian
   Travel with Far Out ExpeditionS in the most abundant concentration of rock art and ruins in the country. The scenic views are spectacular as the expedition leads you across mesas and down canyons filled with the sites of the Anasazi who lived here before, flora and fauna of the seasons and geological wonders.

Vehicle trips: From our vehicle-basecamp on the mesa top, each day offers another opportunity for exploration. Return tired and happy each evening from our day hikes to the luxury of a “safari style” camp.

Backpack trips: Vaughn’s preferred adventure offers even more opportunity for the traveler who would like to head down into the canyons for real exploration. Backpacking is the ideal way to immerse yourself in the landscape and leave the world behind. Once in the canyon, many of our backpack trips afford us the luxury of multi-day-hikes from the same camp site. Backpacking is the only way to reach some special sites.
 

 

 

"Exceptional--ambiance, canyon trips, companionship. Thank you for opening a new vista."

½ day trips: Bluff is located in the heart of the country that the Anasazi occupied over 1000 years ago. For that reason there are even sites we can get to when we just spend the morning or afternoon on a local jaunt. This is a great way to get to know what you might look for as you travel through the region.

“I have had the pleasure of working with Far Out Expeditions on my photography workshops in the Southwest for a number of years. The knowledgeable staff at FOE is dedicated to preserving the ‘magic’ of the canyon country experience, and combines education of the land and culture with professionalism in their guiding and outfitting. There are few people that know the canyon country of the Southwest like Far Out Expeditions.”

--John Sexton, Photographer
