Perimeter Trail

WALK THE PERIMETER TRAIL
Join the Muleteam this Saturday for a hike along the winding foothills of the Huachuca Mountains between Carr and Miller Canyons. This is a relatively easy, level trail with vista views of the San Pedro Valley, but it will be about 7 miles roundtrip. Bring water and lunch. Back mid-afternoon. Meet Nov 23 at 9am by the Old Bisbee courthouse fountain to carpool. Free, but gas donation is appreciated. For more details contact Anne at 432-0307 or areiniger@wyoming.com.

The trailhead is at the first dirt parking area on Carr Canyon Rd, and the hike returns on the same trail.

BACKTRACK - Ramsey Canyon
Vibrant visuals the order of the day with reds and yellows from the maples and oranges from the sycamores as far as the eye could see. There was also a very attractive water area near the crossing beyond the overlook. If you missed the hike, the leaves should be good tomorrow, as well, when Ramsey Preserve opens at 9 and closes at 4. The charge for county residents is $5 per person. It’s a small parking lot  and many folks were turned away yesterday so arriving at 9 would be a good idea. (Ramsey is closed Tuesday and Wednesday and the predicted front later in the week may play havoc with the leaves.)
Thanks to Gretchen Meyers for shuttling the drivers from the surprisingly packed Brown Canyon lot and to the drivers for dealing with this unexpected problem. Also, thanks to Pete and the Ramsey folks for their many courtesies. -John B.
