Gary Morgan, Museum Curator of Paleontology,
Larry Crumpler, Ph.D. Museum Research Curator of Volcanology
Tom Waddell, Armendaris Ranch Manager

New Mexico's largest colony of Mexican freetail bats, and 4th largest in the country, is on the private Armendaris Ranch. In the warmer months, from 200,000 to several million bats emerge from collapsed lava tube caves in the Jornada del Muerto Volcanic Field. Sitting on a ledge above the cave opening, the sights and sounds are unforgettable.

Participants will caravan from Albuquerque or meet in TorC.  Those with 4-wheel drive vehicles are encouraged to drive and carpool for ranch road access.  The trip will end that evening at a motel in TorC. Participants can return at their leisure to Albuquerque the following day.  

The fee includes lunch and dinner. Motel expenses are not included.  Proceeds benefit the Museum's Education programs.  Families are welcome.

---Leaving Albuquerque at 9 a.m. August 23, the field trip experience ends at 10pm the night of August 23th. You may choose or may not choose to stay in TorC after the field trip, hotel is not included and rooms have not been reserved.


The New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science reserves the right to cancel any event that does not reach a minimum of 6 participants.
