The Southern Tewa Experience

Pecos National Historical Park, New Mexico.

What to Expect

Travel

All travel is by Crow Canyon vehicle. We will explore archaeological sites located at elevations between 5000 and 9000 feet. You must be able to walk and stand for up to one hour during on-site discussions. Access to most sites requires moderate hikes of no more than 2 miles round-trip; some hikes are over uneven terrain. Tuesday's hike in the Comanche Gap area is more challenging and demands some climbing and scrambling. An alternative activity will be provided.

Accommodations

Four nights are spent in excellent hotels. Two nights are spent at a resort spa with first-class accommodations, lovely landscaped grounds, and excellent spa services. Accommodations are double-occupancy; single accommodations are available for an additional fee of $495.

Weather

The climate in the northern Southwest is generally very dry and sunny. Late spring and early fall daytime temperatures can be quite variable, ranging from the 50s to the 80s; summer temperatures can reach into the 90s and occasionally exceed 100 degrees. Nighttime temperatures are cooler and generally pleasant. Although it can rain any time, afternoon thunderstorms are most common in July and August.
