El Morro National Monument and the Wolf Sanctuary April 27, 2012

A reliable waterhole hidden at the base of a massive sandstone bluff made El Morro (the bluff) a popular campsite. Ancestral Puebloans settled on the mesa top over 700 years ago. Spanish and American travelers rested, drank from the pool and carved their signatures, dates and messages for hundreds of years. Today, El Morro National Monument protects over 2,000 inscriptions and petroglyphs, as well as Ancestral Puebloan ruins. UNM Continuing Education invites you to join us as we discover the rich history of this National Monument. After we visit the monument, we’ll continue on to The Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary in Ramah, a “retirement home” for wolves.

The $92 tuition fee includes transportation, entrance fee, guided tour at the wolf sanctuary and a box lunch. This trip departs from the UNM Continuing Education east parking lot, located at 1634 University Blvd. NE in Albuquerque, NM on Saturday, April 28, 2012 at 8:00am and will return at 6:00pm.
