TruAdventure is a summer excursion like no other – combining a great wilderness experience with wonderful learning and social opportunities. This seven-day program will reinvigorate your passion for the outdoors, your love of learning, and your sense of adventure as you visit breathtaking sites in the rugged parks of Colorado and Utah. Based on a wildly popular travel course designed for Truman undergraduates, TruAdventure has been adapted to meet the needs and interests of the adult traveler interested in a vacation that’s just a little off the beaten path.
Participants converge on Denver, Colorado for a Saturday night stay and Sunday morning departure by motor coach to Moab, Utah, where they spend two days and three nights visiting the sites surrounding Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. On Wednesday participants arrive in the Cortez, Colorado, area where they explore the Anasazi Heritage Center, the Lowry Pueblo Ruins, and the Howenweep National Monument. Thursday the tour continues to the Ute Mountain Tribal Park before transitioning to Salida, Colorado. Friday morning adventurers arrive in Buena Vista, Colorado for a refreshing whitewater rafting adventure on the Arkansas River. The journey concludes in Denver Friday night with time to relax and contemplate a return to our normal, less adventurous lives.
