We will not be taking a group to Trinity in April of 2022.
​Maybe we will go next year!

Trinity Site, the location where 75 years ago, on July 16, 1945, the first man-made nuclear explosion was detonated, is open only twice a year and the Los Alamos Historical Society is offered a guided tour to the site in October 2021.
 
The Society’s Trinity Tour included a unique two-day, one night experience via the Alamogordo southern approach through the seldom-seen interior of White Sands Missile Range.  Departure from Trinity Site will be out of the northern Stallion Gate, with a lunch stop at New Mexico Tech in Socorro.
 
Bonuses included a visit to the young (5,000-year-old) lava flows of Valley of Fires, and the New Mexico Museum of Space History overlooking the Tularosa Basin, Holloman Air Force Base, and White Sands Missile Range. This excursion aboard a comfortable, restroom-equipped coach included experienced tour direction from Georgia and Gerry Strickfaden, leading their eighteenth trip to Trinity.
