Fast, exciting and clean, the tours feature commercially built boats with comfortable safe seating. You will marvel at the brilliant colors in the cliffs along the Colorado River, and you may spot along the banks native bird and wildlife, petri-f.ed petri-f.ed logs, or the evidence of an ancient Anasazi Indian Civilization. Civi-lization. . . i, The "Early Bird" tour, leaving, at 7:30 a.m., is designed especially for serious photographers. Fred, himself a photographer, photo-grapher, knows where the best views are and at what angle to snap them. This is the time of day when the slanted rays of the morn.ng sun bring out the brilliant colors and shapes in the cliffs and vistas. The other tours leave at 9 a.m., 2 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Transportation to and from the river is included as part of the ticket. Cost is either $10 or $13.50 for adults, with children's rates on all but the early run. And for those seeking white water excitement, Alpha Action Tours also has raft trips. These take about 4 hours, and the cost is $10 per person. ' Alpha Audio-Guided "Tours by Tape" is a popular part of the Alpha Tours activities. Nearly a dozen tours are offered on tape, and the self-guided approach has as advantages the continued privacy of the family car, and the chance to stop when and for as long as wished. All tours are complete with instructions and the tape tour package includes tape and cassette cas-sette player at 3.95 or 6.95. The tape tours are available from Canyonlands Trading Post in downtown Moab. Fred and wife, Jean, first visited the Moab area 15 years ago, and began returning yearly to soak up more of the red rock landscape. Their visits began stretching out more and more until they finally made the big jump and became permanent perm-anent residents of this area.' Their enthusiasm for Canyonlands is contagious. For information or reservations call 259-6207 or stop at the Radcliffe's located one block south of the Moab Lanes bowling on Highway 163 south of town, or visit Canynlands Trading Post. Fred keeps his tours short in order to give you time for the other activities available in Canyonlands, and he will gladly glad-ly give tips on what else to see and how to get there. ht " . y- , i j'V'iV i.yyyf- v.. |
