PEEC News:

There are hundreds of high, beautiful, perennial-flowing waterfalls in the Land of Enchantment, and Doug Scott is widely recognized as the expert on the subject.

Scott returns to PEEC to give a presentation on the topic at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 5 at the new Los Alamos Nature Center, 2600 Canyon Road. The talk is free and open to the public.

Scott has been exploring New Mexico since he was a young child. He started the Taos Mountain Outfitters in 1972 and was a commercial whitewater rafting guide and ski touring guide for many years, besides being a successful artist. Scott loves discovering waterfalls and sharing them with others. Attendees of his programs are always greatly inspired to become “Waterfall-lovers” and begin “Waterfalling” immediately.

All four of Doug Scott’s outdoor books will be available to be signed and personalized: Taos Waterfalls, Taos Mountains, New Mexico Waterfalls and New Mexico Waterfall Handbook.   

This talk will take place at the Los Alamos Nature Center at 2600 Canyon Road. It is free to attend, and no registration is required. For more information about this and other PEEC programs, visit www.peecnature.org, email programs@peecnature.org or call 505.662.0460.
