Fall Vacations 2010
Fall vacations are just the best! Families with kids are back home (and if you have kids, they're back in school), the mosquitoes are gone, the air is crisp, the fall foliage is outstanding - what's not to like! If fall foliage is appealing, check out the East Coast trips, particularly in the Smokies and Adirondacks, and the hiking trip in Minnesota. Fall weather is ideal for hiking so we offer many hiking trips. And perhaps more surprisingly, September weather in Nova Scotia is ideal for kayaking. Kayaking, riding, hiking- it's all good.

Havasu Canyon, often described as a desert paradise, is blessed by abundant water and spectacular waterfalls. Being able to send most personal gear to the canyon floor by mule makes this the perfect trip for women who want to combine swimming and relaxing with canyon exploration and exciting day hikes in a stunning desert environment. Sedona, where we will spend two days hiking, is also a magical place- although much more developed! And we finish our time in Canyon country with a night at the grandest Canyon of them all. $1580 Rating: 1 2 [3] 4 5
