Teresa Bitler

Whether a native of this region or a traveler making the rounds, you’ll find this guide replete with all the information you need to venture off the beaten path in the Four Corners territory of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah. Itineraries introduce you to the Native American tribes of the Colorado plateau and take you to hundreds of ancestral Puebloan ruins, including those at major sites like Mesa Verde and Chaco Canyon. Learn where to see traditional tribal dances, how to gain access to tribal lands off - limits to most visitors, and which tribes open their homes to the public during feast days. There’s also information on trading posts and Native American guides, plus you’ll learn about the Hopi, Zuni, Kaibab, Ute, Apache, Navajo, and Puebloan tribes.

Native Arizona author Teresa Bitler is a contributor to regional and national publications and has authored an iPhone travel app rated one of the best by iTunes. Bitler explores the state with her husband and daughters.
