| Chocolate Drops in the Maze |
The Maze district of Canyonlands National Park holds a special significance in the hearts of the few people who have been there. Even today, it is a remote and difficult place to get to. Deep within the canyons, Archaic man has left many beautiful and mysterious life-size pictographs. These masterpieces of ancient North American rock art are a testament to a human presence in the canyons thousands of years ago.
We begin this interesting trip with a visit to Horseshoe Canyon and the Great Gallery archeological site, one of the most celebrated of all pictograph panels. Later, our trip takes us down the switch-backs of the Flint Trail and into the Land of Standing Rocks. A hike into the bottom of the Maze will lead us to the Harvest Scene, another famous pictograph panel.

On our last night we’ll camp at the Doll House, a fantasyland of sandstone pinnacles and spires. The next morning after a short hike we'll begin out journey home. Today our route will take us past Waterhole Flat, Sunset Pass and the Sewing Machine. It's a big, wild and beautiful country with much to see. A person could easily spend weeks exploring its hidden passages and mysterious canyons.
Many of our guest continue their trip by joining our Cataract Canyon Expedition from the Doll House. Hike to Spanish Bottom from the Doll House with your guide and join our raft trip for an extra night and an extra day.
