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 on the 740-square-mile Preserve — 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. Co-leading this tour will be Jan-Willem Jansens (see bio below).
