Mike's 2025 Schedule

 

     Finally got a confirmation from Caravan about the rest of my 2025 Tour Season!  Thanks to those of you who have been so patient in awaiting this information.  It has been an ususual year in many ways for travel, with so much uncertainty about park budgets and staffing.  It was strange to have no Rangers at the entrance stations at Grand Canyon National Park this Spring.  It is concerning.  But the beauty and spectacle of the scenery was not dimmed in any degree.  Shared the joy of discovery with many new guests regarding the wonders of the American West.  From the first glimpse of the Grand Canyon to the warm embrace of the canyon walls at Zion.

     I am now moving to the Yellowstone tours for the Summer.  I return to the Southwest this Fall.

     Following are the tours Caravan has confirmed for me:

June 6th - Yellowstone tour    

July 26th - Yellowstone tour

August 15th - Yellowstone tour

September 10th - Grand Canyon tour

September 18th - Grand Canyon tour

October 6th - Grand Canyon tour

October 14th - Grand Canyon tour

 

       People often ask me why I live back East and work out West.  My simple response is : "Because I can."  Family and my Blue Ridge Mountain home root me in the East.  But I love to gaze on wide open spaces and towering mountain tops in the West.  Something about the power of the individual and the ability to dream big.  Love to listen to a canyon wren, feel a warm desert breeze, and gaze at landscapes that challenge my ability to comprehend them and leave me in awe.  May adventures continue to enrich your Lives, and may our paths cross again on tour or in the most unexpected places.  My best to you all - - -
