July 21-23, 2011Santa Fe, New Mexico

Rocky Mountain MineRal law Foundation

Join us this summer as we return to Santa Fe, New Mexico, in the lovely western foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Range for the 57th Annual Rocky Mountain Mineral Law Institute. All sessions and registration will be held in the new Santa Fe Convention Center, only two to three blocks from the historic Santa Fe Plaza and the Eldorado Hotel. The historic city of Santa Fe, elevation 7,000 feet, offers a delightful array of attractions including many major museums, the Santa Fe Opera, endless arts and crafts galleries and shops, historic churches, Indian pueblos, and, of course, many superb restaurants. If you decide not to attend, don’t show this program to your significant other!

The Program opens with a General Session on Thursday morning following presentation of the an-nual Clyde O. Martz Teaching Award. In the afternoon, attendees can choose between Public Lands and International Sections. Of course, no Annual Institute could be complete without the tradi-tional Hosted Reception for attendees and guests on Thursday evening. Friday morning will be split between Mining and Oil & Gas Sections. The Oil & Gas Section will continue on Friday afternoon opposite the Environmental Section. The program adjourns on Saturday noon following morning split Sections for Landmen and on Water Law. Be prepared to extend your stay in Santa Fe - the program is strong and you won’t want to miss any sessions.

Hotel rooms are blocked at ten nearby properties, and our discounted room blocks at several of the hotels are filling rapidly. Registrants are urged to make their reservations promptly.

The Santa Fe location is marvelous for side trips to Taos, Los Alamos, Chimayo, or Bandelier National Monument. One can also golf on the mesas, hike in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, raft on the Rio Grande, or explore abandoned Pueblo ruins. There are many optional tours available during your visit.

Santa Fe is an easy 60-mile drive from Albuquerque, the nearest major airline hub, or you can take a convenient shuttle. See inside for further detailed information!

57th annual Rocky Mountain MineRal law institute

Rocky Mountain Mineral Law Foundation July 2011 ● Santa Fe, New Mexico Santa Fe is a city rich in Native American tradition and big-city modernity. Each year, visitors from around the globe flock here to enjoy the city’s many historical and cultural offerings. To ensure that you and your guests have an opportunity to enjoy some of Santa Fe’s many attractions, special tours and excursions have been arranged specifically for our group. Thursday, July 21 Fly-Fishing with Lunch 7:00am – 2:00pm

Santa Fe is home to some of the best flyfishing in the Southwest. Professional guides assist you with equipment, technique and local secrets. COST: $250 per person includes transportation, river guide, boxed lunch, all necessary fly-fishing gear and equipment, beverages, and tax. Min 6, no max.

Float / Rafting Trip with Lunch 8:00am – 2:00pm

One of America's most popular adventures, whitewater rafting, is becoming a tradition for visitors to Northern New Mexico. The rafting season begins with the snowmelt in spring and generally lasts through October. All levels of rafters, from the novice to the expert, will enjoy this adventure along the Rio Grande. Along the valley floor, the rafters will experience spectacular scenery, with a full range of whitewater on the "Racecourse" south of Taos. It is

recommended that the rafters bring extra clothing to change into at the take-out point. Due to safety regulations, no one under the age of 7 years old or in excess of 230 pounds will be permitted to participate in this event. Waterproof suits and helmets can be provided upon request. COST: $125 per person for half day rafting trip includes private transportation, boxed lunch, equipment, guide, guide and driver gratuities, and tax. Min 20, no max. Tent Rocks 8:30am – 1:30pm

Join us for a beautiful slot canyon hike through the unique geological area known as Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks. Tent Rocks is an area that features large, cone-shaped rocks hugging the steep cliffs of Peralta Canyon. These formations were originally created by the powerful dual forces of vulcanism and erosion which have built up, reshaped, and then torn down this landscape over time. While uniform in shape, the tent rock formations vary in height from

just a few feet to over 90. Most of the trail is on a gradual sloping incline through a slot canyon that is an invigorating but not strenuous walk. A steep climb to the top of the mesa is available at the end of the trail for those interested in a challenge and a spectacular view. COST: $95 per person includes transportation, professional guide, boxed lunch, entrance fees, and tax. Bandelier National Monument 9:00am – 3:00pm

Travel to Bandelier National Monument where you’ll descend into a canyon filled with the ruins of the Anasazi Indians, colloquially "the Ancient Ones." Located on the Pajarito Plateau of the volcanic Jemez Mountains, Bandelier was the home of the Anasazi from the eleventh to fourteenth centuries. Excavated over 90 years ago, these ruins were once home to over 200 people, ancestors of today's Pueblo Indians. Hundreds of petroglyphs carved by the original residents are still visible. You may walk along easy paths past the remains of ancient

Pueblo dwellings to the cliff dwellings where you can climb ladders to peer inside. There will be an option for adventurous people to climb the 150 feet of ladders to visit Alcove House. COST: $115 per person includes transportation, professional guide, boxed lunch, entrance fees, and tax. Traditional New Mexican Cooking Class 9:30am – 1:00pm
