Itinerary of your trip Best Of Bear’S Ears And Beyond Discovery Tour

  • Day 1 Day 1: Bears Ears And Edge Of Cedars State Park Museum
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 1: Bears Ears And Edge Of Cedars State Park Museum

      Our first destination, Edge of the Cedars State Park Museum, provides an ideal framework to orient yourself to the region. The museum houses one of the largest collections of Ancestral Puebloan pottery as well as rare objects including basket collections, feather sashes and blankets, all with the goal of helping you to deepen your understanding of the ancestral people in this region.  Next, we will travel through scenic high elevation ponderosa pine forests on our way to the Bears Ears. 

  • Day 2 Day 2: The Citadel
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 2: The Citadel

      For today’s adventure, we will follow the rim of Road Canyon until it brings us to an ancient defensive fortress called the Citadel. Along the six mile hike through piňon and juniper, catch glimpses of cliff dwellings in Road Canyon. The anticipation grows as you scramble across a long, thin peninsula of sandstone with sheer drop offs on both sides that provide spectacular views of the canyon below. Ample time will be provided to explore the Citadel dwellings and 360-degree vantage point before our journey back.  On the way back to Bluff, we will stop at Muley Point for panoramic views of the San Juan River Goosenecks.  We will then descend 1,200 feet on three miles of switchbacks along the Moki Dugway with views of the Valley of the Gods and Monument Valley.

  • Day 3 Day 3: Mule Canyon
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 3: Mule Canyon

      Today’s destination often serves as a quick roadside stop for visitors to examine three unique towers with cryptic origins. For those willing to venture off the beaten path (that’s us), there is far more to discover. We will scramble down a few sandstone ledges to get an up-close view at these unique structures that invoke a sense of curiosity and wonder about prehistoric cultures. As time allows, we will explore additional cliff dwellings, kivas and petroglyphs in the nearby vicinity.

  • Day 4 Day 4: North Comb Ridge
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 4: North Comb Ridge

      With a striking presence rising over 700 feet high in locations, it is no wonder that an 80 mile long geologic fold known as Comb Ridge is rich with archaeological sites. There is so much to experience here that we will spend two days exploring several alcoves filled with signs of the past, requiring easy to moderate hikes of around two miles. Each alcove tells its own story of daily prehistoric life, including food remnants and signs of food processing, as well as remarkable art and architecture. We will also hike three miles to the Procession Panel, which offers hundreds of human-like and animal form petroglyphs to study and reflect upon, accompanied with expansive and stunning views of the Cedar Mesa plateau.

  • Day 5 Day 5: South Comb Ridge
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm
