My husband and I took a Canyon Dave tour several years ago, and were so impressed, we knew we wanted our kids and grandkids to enjoy the experience. This time we invited two sons and two grandsons, as a Christmas gift. The hands-on geology lesson, with actual rock samples to pass around and examine was a huge hit. There was just the right combination of van time and opportunities to get out and walk a bit to enjoy special viewpoints. Dora provided drinks and snacks in the van, and a delicious lunch at the Navajo reservation was included in the tour fee. From the time we were picked up until we were dropped off at the end of the day, Dora shared her wealth of knowledge about the Grand Canyon. We learned of plant and animal life in the area, native peoples, and the history of the formation and evolution of the Grand Canyon itself. Dora is kid-friendly, without being condescending, and able to easily keep both kids and adults fully engaged. I hope we can come back again with more grandchildren!
