​ Trinity Tour

We will be making a trip to Trinity site this April!

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 March 31- April 1st, 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.

Bonuses include a visit to the young (5,000-year-old) lava flows at 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 is arranged and directed by History Medal recipients Georgia and Gerry Strickfaden because they think it is great fun!

Cost:  $550 for each LAHS member, double occupancy (Alamogordo Holiday Inn Express and Suites)
            $650 for each person who is not a LAHS member
 
​An additional $140 for single room preference (included in some ticket prices, check ticket name before purchase)
Includes two lunches, transportation, lodging, entrance fees, and guides.

Reservation deadline is March 1st, 2023. Call the Executive Director at (505)662-6272 to purchase tickets after March 1st.
