This program is open to the public; registration is not required. While skiing on groomed trails around the scenic La Jara peak, participants will learn about climate change in the Jemez mountains. Visitors will learn about two possible scenarios for Valles Caldera’s future climate and the basics of climate science. For this program, participants must bring their own skiing equipment. Classic cross-country skis are recommended. While skate skis are an option, this program will involve frequent stops. The route is approximately 1.4 miles long and flat. Participants are encouraged to bring water, snacks, and appropriate winter clothing. For more info, click here. Photo by Corey Lycopolus/NPS
