Canyon Dave was a geology professor and museum curator.

He attended and led some wonderful tours and field trips.

The fun started the minute everyone got in the van.

They would make spontaneous stops for wildlife, nice views and strange rocks or plants.

Everyone wanted to see and learn everything and take tons of pictures.

The guide would pass out handouts, minerals, seashells, fossils and other cool things to study.

At a viewpoint there would be a great sit down talk by an educated authority (funny, too).

Then everyone would walk around looking at everything, with expert commentary.

Dave would scout out the best restaurants and pay the whole bill himself.

On to more destinations! And, finally, a relaxing trip back home.

Then, Dave found out there was no tour like this for the public. You had to be a student or museum member to come along.

So, Dave started Canyon Dave Tours! The same wonderous field trips, but every day of the year!
