Join us Wednesday before the Annual Meeting and Ice Breaker Reception for a tour of the Walnut Creek Watershed, where geo-ecohydrology meets water resources development with topics including the growth of the Lake Mary fault systems, with Dr. Jeri Young Ben-Horin of the Arizona Geological Survey, structural geology and aquifer yield studies with Errol Montgomery, water supply and hydrology with Erin Young and Matthew Miller of City of Flagstaff Water Services, and watershed health and the Upper Lake Mary Paired Watershed research projects presented by Dr. Abe Springer of Northern Arizona University. We meet at the Drury Hotel at 9:15 AM and hop in a van field school style for a 9:30 AM departure. Lunch is provided. Bring water and sturdy footwear\/outdoor clothing appropriate for hiking two-miles round trip on a forest service road, with some walking across semi-rocky native forest, and as appropriate for the Flagstaff weather in September (perfect and temperate, but potentially rainy and windy). We will have you back to the Drury at 3:30 PM in time for the 4 PM AHS Annual Meeting across the street at the High Country Conference Center.<\/p>\n

Extend your stay in the cool pines by participating in one of our Saturday field trips. Friday night camp out at Dogtown Lake Campground in Williams, Arizona and join us for a river-kitchen style dinner followed by fireside (weather-permitting) networking. Not a big tent camper? We have room blocks available at the Drury Inn for the weekend! Off-site participants will join us no later than 8:50 AM for departure from Dogtown Lake Campground. You\u2019ll pack your lunch before two incredible trips depart Dogtown Lake Campground on Saturday morning; one led by Erin Young, City of Flagstaff, exploring the Williams-area water resources, reservoirs, and wells.<\/p>\n

Pack your boots and plenty of water for Option #2, with multiple moderate and slightly technical hikes (approximately 4 miles total) to Williams-area springs, waterfalls, and other neat hydrologic features. Enjoy an overview of the paired watershed studies, springs ecology and restoration, and Williams regional hydrogeology presented by Dr. Abe Springer (NAU) and Zachary Keller (SRP). Wrap up the day with dinner at Historic Brewing Company (*dinner not included in trip cost*) before retiring back to Dogtown Lake Campground for another evening under the stars.<\/p>\n

No camping equipment? Dietary restrictions? Need a ride? Carpooling is available! E-mail Lauren Baader (Lauren.Baader@tetratech.com<\/a><\/u><\/span>) with any questions or concerns!<\/p>\n

This field trip will focus on watershed restoration work that is underway in Oak Creek, which is currently impaired under ADEQ\u2019s standards for E. coli <\/em>and sediment. ADEQ has completed sampling and inventorying to determine the origin of these nonpoint sources and identified recreational use in and around Oak Creek \u2014 especially along Highway 89A \u2014 as a primary contributor to impaired water quality. Since this time, ADEQ has worked with USFS, Natural Channel Design, and others to implement various measures: low impact design (LID), micro-engineering structures, social trail management, roadside closures, and hillslope restoration \/ enhancement. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We'll meet at 12 PM at\u00a0Indian Gardens<\/a>\u00a0and caravan as needed. Hiking is minimal, but bring water and any other field gear you would normally have.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

On our way back to Flagstaff, we\u2019ll stop by the Upper Lake Mary dam, visit a COSMOS soil-moisture gaging station, and further explore forest restoration efforts in the area. Finally, we\u2019ll head back to the Lake Mary Water Treatment Plant for lunch.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Afternoon: Montezuma Well<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Montezuma Well in the Verde Valley represents the far end of the spectrum of residence time in relation to Hoxworth Springs, with its 13,300-year-old waters much altered by passage through multiple, deep strata and warming over depth. Dr. Larry Stevens will discuss the landscape, regional stratigraphy, geologic history, climate, and ecology of this fascinating natural feature, emphasizing the ecological consequences of long-term, perennial discharge in relation to the evolution of endemism.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-1215","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ahssymposium.org\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1215","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ahssymposium.org\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ahssymposium.org\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ahssymposium.org\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/63"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ahssymposium.org\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1215"}],"version-history":[{"count":22,"href":"https:\/\/ahssymposium.org\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1215\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4948,"href":"https:\/\/ahssymposium.org\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1215\/revisions\/4948"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ahssymposium.org\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1215"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
