**UPDATED.....Fall Regional Room Block

As of August 19, 2010, the LPA Room Block has been MOVED to the Glacier Canyon Lodge. A room block opened up in the Glacier Canyon so, we were able to take advantage of this change. This will put our rooms right next to the Convention center for all of our LPA activities. You may disregard your original reservation for the Wilderness.

**You do NOT have to do anything for this change to take effect. The hotel is taking care of moving our reservations for us.
