OPEN ROADS OPEN MINDS, LLC Outdoor Adventure, Creativity, and Friendship    FRENCH TAPESTRY CHATEAU DE CHENONCEAU At Open Roads Open Minds, we believe that learning is a lifelong process, and we know that personal experience in the best teacher. We believe that a change in landscape and culture inspires the reflective and creative juices in all of us. In Provence we hike from the medieval town of Les Baux to the ruins of the Roman city of Glanum (100 B.C.) What was life like in these cultures that time has separated? The Anasazi lived in the Four Corners area of the United States beginning around 100 B.C. In the thirteenth century, they had thriving communities spread throughout the area. Mysteriously, by A.D. 1250, they had disappeared. Why did they leave? Where did they go? Around the river's bend you spot a moose and her calf at the water's edge. A half-mile ahead, a grizzly fishes for his breakfast. Surrounded by mountains and canyons, it has taken a bush plane and a river raft to bring us to this place in the Alaskan wilderness. Have you ever experienced such vastness? What's for lunch? Iguana. At an iguana research center in Costa Rica, we learn the rainforest is being cut down to provide room for grazing cattle. Solution: Raise iguana as a food source. Sound strange? This sweet white meet is prime. To refelect on the questions of others is an essential goal of Open Roads tours. We build into the schedule both active exploraton and time to digest the experience. RAIN FOREST TREE FROG COSTA RICA KAYAKING AND LUNCH PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND ALASKA
