Margaret Mayer has been a hike leader and naturalist for AMC, Wilderness Ventures, School of Field Studies, NPS and others. She is leading a series of Nature hikes on Tuesdays. These hikes are mostly easy with gentle ups and downs and offer learning about trees, plants, birds, mushrooms, geology, wildlife, etc.. Most will be approx. 4 miles RT but could be longer depending on the group and weather conditions. Bring your sketchpads and/or Field Guides!
We will start at Colorado trail parking south of Molas Lake. First drop down the Colorado Trail to a little waterfall, then hike back up to the trail skirting Molas campground to the East and continuing north with views of the peaks through the aspen. Loop back to parking area.
Carpool $7. Limit 12. 1 well behaved dog (please include in RSVP).
