In memory of Bill Beaver, former Sacred Mountain Trading Post owner and beloved friend of the Museum, we will walk in his footsteps and the footsteps of the Navajo, Hopi, Spanish, and Mormon settlers along the Little Colorado River. Along this path, we will see petroglyphs and historic inscriptions, and learn the significance of these important crossings throughout history. Jerry Snow will guide this one-day adventure, which includes lunch and a traditional Hopi dinner.
