SOUTHWEST
Welcome to the American Southwest, the rumpled horizon
studded with the stick figures of Saguaro cactus, hidden
nooks lush with watercress, granite strongholds glowing orange in
the setting sun, the call of a Gambel's quail, the smell of mesquite
washed in a pounding desert rain.
Now put yourself in the picture. You will be climbing, hiking,
canoeing and caving in terrain as varied as those skills. And
with consistently good weather, the Southwest is the perfect place
to focus on each unique activity.
Our headquarters on the outskirts of Tucson, Arizona is a facility
specially designed to meet your needs and those of your fellow
coursemates. From here we explore the great landscapes of the
region, close enough to an international airport to make your travel
easy yet far enough away for an extended escape into the wilderness.
