NARGS Annual Meeting: Steppe to Alpine
Steamboat Springs, Colorado - June 23-27th 2016

On-line registration begins January 1.

Steamboat Springs will offer NARGS members a chance to see a beautiful and less famous side of Colorado in what Mike Kintgen describes as a botanical paradise of contrasting habitats.  Most of the hikes and trips will focus on elevations ranging from the rich and varied steppe flora up to the interesting montane and subalpine areas (depending on snow cover).

The meeting will convene in Denver on June 22 and and picks up the afternoon of the 23rd in Steamboat Springs 170 miles to the northwest.

Please see Mike Kintgen's article "Steamboat Springs and the Northern Colorado Rockies"  in the Summer 2015 Rock Garden Quarterly for a description of the floristic areas surrounding Steamboat Springs and what attendees may hope to see when they attend the meeting.

More details will be posted as they are available.  Registration for the meeting will commence early in 2016.
