Pre-conference Field Trip — September 27:

Participants will hike the Colorado Trail at Molas Pass down to the Animas River and then ride the Durango-Silverton historic railroad back to Silverton.

Please reserve spots for the pre-meeting Molas Pass hike and train ride back to Silverton. ($25 each)

Notes:

• Accomodations are very limited in Ouray. NMGS has reserved blocks of rooms at discount rates. Please see the conference accommodation details for more information.
• Registration is limited to the first 130 registrants. Your registration will be added to a waiting list in the order received if the registration limit has been reached (you will be notified regardless).
• Our registration fees do not cover accommodations or breakfasts (all other meals are provided). However, accomodations often include breakfast, so inquire when you register.
• Refunds are only possible if a request is received in writing by September 04, 2017.
• If you have placed publications for purchase in your cart, they will not be included in this registration transaction. To complete payment for pending items, after you complete your registration, please click the 'View Cart' link at the top of any NMGS page (or click a 'buy now' link for an additional item). The separation of membership dues/conference registration from publication sales is necessary to keep the Societies' accounting more manageable.
