Long before the Grand Canyon was admired by the world over Native Americans were entranced by the beauty of the area. And when visiting the Grand Canyon travelers can still find traces of a culture long lost through paintings and petroglyphs left behind in the caves and chasms that speckle the area. Below, we’ve highlighted three different options that with each offering a glimpse into the Kaibab National Forest and its remnants of the area’s ancient history.
Indian Painting Safari Jeep Tour
The Indian Painting Safari Jeep Tour is the most basic of the three tours featured, but can still offer an immersive view of messages long forgotten. Throughout your journey you’ll travel Kaibab National Forest by Jeep as you scout out promising areas, and then travel by foot to experience the ancient writings up close. More than a simple sightseeing experience, the Indian Painting Safari Jeep Tour can offer archaeological excitement as you uncover the history of the Grand Canyon area.
Canyon Pines & Indian Paintings Safari Jeep Tours Combo
The Canyon Pines & Indian Paintings Safari Jeep Tours Combo offers the same adventure through Kaibab National Forest as the original Indian Paintings Safari Jeep Tour, but also takes travelers to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon itself. While the Indian Paintings portion of the tour offers valuable insight into the past, the Canyon Pines portion can paint a perfect present day picture of the area as you experience the awesome depth of the Canyon’s chasm and variety of wildlife.
Grand Sunset & Indian Paintings Safari Jeep Tour Combo
Much like the previous tour combo, you’ll be taken through Kaibab National Forest and explore the many paintings and petroglyphs of the region before trekking to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. The one major difference in the two tours is that the Grand Sunset tour offers views of the Canyon at sunset. The brilliant play that the shades of orange and yellow create against the browns and reds of the Canyon, simply put, paints a picture quite unlike anything a human could ever conjure. Let ancient history and mystic images come together during your next Grand Canyon visit with the Grand Sunset & Indian Paintings Safari Jeep Tour Combo.
