In today’s world, most people are quite concerned about environmental issues.  From the loss of the rich diversity of wildlife species to household recycling, saving our natural environment has become a part of our everyday lives. 

 The travel industry is no exception to this.  In keeping with the demands of informed travelers, we are proud to offer you a package describing the most comprehensive ecotours in the West.  Our tours are an exciting experience, designed to enhance the traveler’s knowledge of the West, its history, geology, archaeology and living anthropology, plus some of the most spectacular scenery to be found anywhere in the world.

What is an ecotour?  Ecotourism, put simply, is tourism as if nature matters.  Concern for the natural environment and minimal impact on areas visited is a primary goal of ecotourism.  Another important aspect is that the ecotourist brings home a better understanding of the environment and cultures they have visited.  In both these areas, Walk Softly Tours excels in providing a tour of the highest quality.  Our guides have studied Western ecology, geology, history, archaeology and cultures extensively.  We employ Native American guides to present cultural history and philosophy from a native perspective.  Our tours strive to minimize impacts on the areas visited, and our staff is involved with local conservation groups to work towards the preservation of the natural beauty that brings so many travelers to the West.
