Alliance of National Heritage Area 2022 Fall Conference

Welcome to the registration site for the fall gathering of the Alliance of National Heritage Areas. We at the Sangre de Cristo National Heritage Area are excited to host all of you, and we've been working diligently to plan a memorable and productive week.

With 11,000 years of documented human habitation, the Sangre de Cristo National Heritage Area is a crossroads of the centuries. Here a unique blend of Native American, Hispano and Anglo settlement is reflected in the diversity of the people, art and traditions. The geographic isolation of our high desert valley and the peoples’ enduring ties to the land have given rise to a rich cultural heritage and ensured its preservation. The area’s fertile cultural landscape is complemented by remarkable natural resources, including the mighty Rio Grande, majestic Rocky Mountain peaks, Great Sand Dunes National Park, National Wildlife Refuges, and the high mountain desert, all of which lend the Sangre de Cristo National Heritage Area an unparalleled beauty that offers a sense of retreat and a powerful source of inspiration for visitors.

Please book your hotel room as soon as possible! If you have any questions during your registration process feel free to contact us. We are happy to assist in any way we can.
