Over the past 75 years, we have built strong ties with neighbors, friends and families throughout the Four Corners states. We consider this entire network across the Southwest our community and we place a high value on contributing work to make it a better one. When expeditions visit our friends on the Navajo Reservation or in the Zuni, Acoma or Zia pueblos, a portion of the visit is usually spent helping to construct a new hogan, repair a fence-line, or prepare for a kinaalda. These same families often visit us at base camp to share their skills and history with us. Similarly, expeditions may work with the Bureau of Land Management, Forest Service or Park Service to improve and maintain trails and campsites, gaining access to restricted or otherwise hard to find areas. Trekkers learn how to work with their hands in order to give back to their own community.
