THE TOURS

Galisteo Spring

Saturday, October 16th, 2021
8:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Half-day tour in the Galisteo Basin Preserve,
Lamy, NM

The Galisteo Basin has been continuously occupied by a diverse collection of peoples and cultures since prehistoric times. Galisteo Spring — the most significant water source for wildlife in the 740-square-mile Galisteo Basin — has been used for millennia by many cultural groups who have passed through or settled there. You will hike to the spring and explore the tangible remnants and rich history of these cultures.  Leading this tour will be archaeologist, Steve Post, and Jan-Willem Jansens (see bios below).

$150 per person includes tour and lunch ($110 tax-deductible)

NOTE: Proof of vaccination is required. Please wear a mask when not eating or drinking. All activities will be outside. Access to the site will require a short carpool ride.
