* Safari, defined as: a journey or expedition. 

New and exciting times!  Each safari is changing and taking on a life of it's own.

Lori MacNichol developed the Canyonlands Safari in the year 2006.  She has found that each seminar has taken a path of it's own. The 4 Corners area is abundant with backcountry airstrips.  As the general aviation community, surrounding the  4 corners (Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah) began inquiring and attending the aviation safety seminars, we have found that each seminar has changed in lodging and schedule of events.  Please call to inquire for more information on your seminar.
