Albuquerque is situated along the Rio
Grande, near the juncture of five
physiographic provinces: the southern
Rocky Mountains, the Great Plains, the
Colorado Plateau, the Rio Grande Rift,
and the Basin and Range. Theme sessions
and field trips reflect a full range of
geologic topics — something for all
interests and disciplines — including
one-day trips to local outcrops and
multiday trips to spectacular exposures
and geologic problems.
Meeting participants and guests can
discover more than 400 years of history
and native New Mexican heritage in easy
walking distance from the hotel.
Adjacent to the hotel are over 150
shops, restaurants, and art galleries,
including the New Mexico Museum of
Natural History and Science.
