A Message from the Director

Field Institute - Mike Buchheit, Field Institute Director

Nobody knows Grand Canyon like our team of instructors. Professional geologists, biologists, archaeologists, historians, artists and National Park Service resource specialists provide an authoritative, in-depth immersion into the grandest of canyons. When you join one of our classes, you’ll be treated to an intimate experience (10 participants is our maximum class size) and visit more intriguing destinations from rim to river than with any other company in the business.

The Grand Canyon is one of the crown jewels of the National Park System, a World Heritage Site, and an unparalleled geologic wonder with an archaeological record spanning 12,000 years. So what are you waiting for? Sign up today for the grandest trip of your life!

Partnership with the National Park Service

For two decades, the Grand Canyon Field Institute has been working closely with the National Park Service to provide educational opportunities that complement the park’s interpretive efforts. Each class is reviewed by an interdisciplinary team of NPS educators and resource managers to ensure that it meets the educational goals of the park.
