Saturday, May 17
On Saturday, May 17, we will be offering a trip to Rocky
Mountain National Park for all conference participants. This will
be an opportunity to see the splendor of the Rockies up close! Walking
and hiking opportunities, from short, leisurely strolls around the visitor's
center to more strenuous mountain trails are available inside the park.
A bus will leave Boulder in the morning and return in the afternoon.
The cost to take part in the excursion is $15 per person, which includes
transportation and park entrance fees. If you would like to sign up,
please send us an e-mail so
that we can reserve a spot for you.
