Austin Lehman's Preserve a Park Program

2012 Preserve A Park Program

Every year since 2010, Austin-Lehman Adventures has supported US National Park preservation by selecting a recipient National Park program and donating a portion of its profits. In times of reduced Federal funding (National Park programs suffered a $101 million funding cut in the 2011 Federal budget alone), ALA has pledged a $100 per person donation to a designated non-profit organization for each guest reserving a spot on its 2012 small group Arches to Moab Multisport Adventure. Recipients have included: 2010 Glacier National Park and the non-profit Glacier National Park Fund. 2011 Yosemite National Park and the non-profit Yosemite Conservancy http://www.yosemiteconservancy.org/Adventure. For 2012 ALA has chosen Canyonlands National Park and the non-profit Canyonlands Natural History Association.

“New guests and our loyal alumni love knowing that a portion of their trip fee helps preserve our national treasures. In fact, in 2010 spaces on our Glacier Park trip sold out in record time. The same happened this year in Yosemite and in 2012, if past history tells us anything, we expect our Canyonlands trips to also sell out quickly,” said Dan Austin.

Explore the amazing Colorado River by raft. Pedal between burnt-orange sheer-walled canyons and enormous white-rimmed sandstone towers on a road snaking through Colorado National Monument. Marvel at how itty-bitty you feel as you hike through looming, crimson rock formations at Fisher Towers. Hike by ancient petroglyphs remains etched in stone, a glimpse into the rituals and beliefs of the Fremont, Anasazi, Navajo and Anglo communities of thousands of years past. At the end of the day, reward yourself with a massage and a hearty dinner before retiring to the comfort of your home for the week, the Red Cliffs Lodge, nestled beneath 2,000-ft cliffs on the banks of the Colorado River.
