"One thing's for sure,

Partners in the Parks does not disappoint; this program exceeded my wildest expectations. Camping below the stars... Visiting Nampaweep, where ancient rock art is etched on clusters of boulders... Observing the diversity of flora and fauna, from snakes and lizards to aloe vera plants... Spelunking in a hidden cave... Gazing at a desert sunset... Peering over the edge of the Grand Canyon at the Colorado River, 3,000 feet below... Needless to say, these memorable opportunities don't come along every day. Livin' on the edge -all puns intended- was an adventure of a lifetime!"

-Audra Cochran (Grand Canyon – Parashant, Summer 2008)
