In a remote high desert basin 220 miles south of Los Alamos, on July 16, 1945, the first atomic detonation signaled a new era. Its success was the culmination of intense secret collaboration and innovation in science and engineering that took place in Los Alamos, NM, during the preceding 27 months. It was code-named Trinity.
Today, the Trinity Site is located within the restricted White Sands Missile Range, but twice a year the army hosts an open house at the Historic Landmark Trinity Site and McDonald/Schmidt Ranch House. The Los Alamos Historical Society is pleased to offer again its popular two-day excursion to Trinity Site October 20th and 21st, 2023. Beginning and ending in Los Alamos, the Society’s Trinity chartered coach tour includes a unique two-day, one night experience via the Alamogordo southern approach through the seldom-seen interior of White Sands Missile Range, and then north through the Stallion Gate. |
