There is a lot of archaeology going on at Jamestown.  It's bringing some
new information about the settlement there.  I have a friend whose dream
was to work at the Grand Canyon, and he did!  Most people do the south
rim, but Jeff highly recommended going to the north rim--more
breathtakingly beautiful and fewer tourists.  I also have a friend who
worked at Mesa Verde; I'll ask him some specifics for that area (the
Four Corners) also.  If you've ever read any of Tony Hillerman's books,
there are a number of features mentioned on that landscape that are
sacred to the Navajo.

You're so lucky!

Subject: advice on places to visit/tours etc

I am going to the Conference in Jamestown in January and afterwards have
booked myself accomodation in Flagstaff for the purpose of seeing the
Grand Canyon etc. I have always wanted to see Arizona, The Grand Canyon,
cliff dwellings and the mesa's you see in so many old westerns. 

Anyone based out there got local info on good tours and must see sights
and attractions. 

I am thinking in terms of tours because I don't like investigating new
places on my own, it's much for fun with someone else to share it with.

Cheers Gaye
