We’re excited to welcome you to a special team-building experience at Golden Gate Canyon State Park as part of the National Association of Hispanic Nurses conference! Our chapter worked hard to create an event that was unique and brought connection while raising funds for our scholarship program.
Together, our group of professional Latine nurses will enjoy a scenic tour through the beautiful landscapes of Colorado with Aspire Tours. This experience is designed to help us connect beyond the conference setting — sharing fresh air, stunning mountain views, and meaningful conversation.
The tour will include sightseeing and an optional short walk/hike for those who’d like to stretch their legs and immerse themselves a little more in nature. Whether you choose to hike or simply take in the views, this will be a wonderful opportunity to relax, recharge, and strengthen our community.
We look forward to building memories, celebrating our shared heritage, and enjoying this time together in such a beautiful setting!
