two decades of natural history education experience at the Arizona-Sonora Desert
Museum and Tucson Botanical Garden continue to assure BFT's guests both
enjoyable itineraries and a professional interpretive focus. Mary's informative
nature interpretations continue to be enjoyed by all.
Piet
Van de Mark’s passion for Baja
California, Mexico's natural beauty bloomed on a personal odyssey in the summer
of 1962. Baja's Frontier Tours began as 4-WD camping expeditions in 1966. As
paved roads and hotels slowly came to Baja, BFT gradually evolved into the Personalized
Natural & Cultural History that Mary & Piet share today in Baja and
other selected locations in Mexico and the American Southwest.
