Cathy represented Tipi Lifestyles in the first International creative tourism conference in Santa Fe, NM last week. Tourism experts, artists, craftsmen, tour guides, and creative vacation designers from all over the world came together in Santa Fe to facilitate the new direction in tourism: Creative, experience driven vacations, tours, retreats, workshops, and travel.  

Moccasin Tracks indigenous cultural retreats fill a much needed niche in creative, eco travel. Our custom travel experiences for 2009 will include half-day, 3 day and 6 day Adventures for the traveler in South Dakota Indian Country, Montana Yellowstone country, and Santa Fe Pueblo country.  Call for upcoming schedule.

It’s wonderful to be back in Big Sky country after a sojourn in the hot and dusty SouthWest. Santa Fe is a special place, but the air sure is crisp and cool in Montana. And it’s so GREEN!

I’m spending the week painting a new 16 foot tipi and it’s liner, that is - after the 4th of July Rodeo - which is an event not to be missed in Red Lodge, Montana.

Our first of many Retreats (August 25th) is coming along nicely. With 4 participants signed up, we still have some spaces open. The group promises to be extremely diverse and very interesting, so if you’re thinking about it, give me a call and I’ll give you all the reasons why you shouldn’t miss this event!

I stopped by Reese Tipis in Colorado Springs today on my way from Santa Fe, NM to Red Lodge, MT and picked up a spankin new 15.75′ tipi that I have been commissioned to paint for a client in Big Sky, MT.

While visiting with Richard of Reese Tipis, he talked me into updating this site - so blame him if you don’t like the new look. Not only does he make the world’s best tipis, he’s also not half bad at web design. He’s also a awesome photographer and has one of the largest collections of tipi pictures I’ve ever seen. The header picture on this blog is one of his tipi pictures.
