21st Season

As I step into the roles of hike scheduler and blog manager, I am happy to say that one thing hasn't changed - this season we will once again be hiking with Larry. We all owe him an enormous debt of gratitude for everything he has done to keep us going strong over so many years, not the least of which was giving us our name!

Something that hasn't changed as much as we hoped - we begin this season as we ended the last, with the pandemic still ongoing. For that reason carpooling is still discontinued, the City of Bisbee's mask ordinance will apply to our gatherings at the Courthouse fountain, and we will stay distanced as we hike. Minor inconveniences, really, so long as we can get outside together!

Our first hike this season is scheduled for October 24, with details to follow soon. Please share the information below with others who may be interested. 

Keep on trekking,

THE GROUP

Hiking in the area around Bisbee AZ since 2000, the Muleteam is a bunch of unique individuals that is always changing, which keeps things kinda interesting. It's not a club and there are no dues, meetings, or members. Anyone is invited to join us, but each hiker is responsible for their own safety and comfort.

THE HIKES

The Muleteam hikes through the cooler months from the end of October to early May, and various hike leaders lead a wide range of hikes. Some trails are easy and flat, some are hard, and 5-7 miles roundtrip is average. There are about 30 regular hikes on our list - in the Mule Mountains, the Dragoons, the Chiricahuas, along the San Pedro River . . . and new ones are introduced every year. Hikes are led by our volunteers, and we always welcome new ones.

MEETING DETAILS

Upcoming hikes are announced weekly in the Bisbee Observer newspaper and here at our blog. We meet 9 AM (or maybe 8 AM) every Saturday in front of the Old Bisbee courthouse, off Tombstone Canyon. Meet near the fountain, but carpooling has been discontinued for now. Meeting at the trailhead can be arranged with the hike leader.

EMAIL

The Muleteam hike emails are no longer sent out from the old list. However you can subscribe here at the blog to have new posts sent to your email address.

PHOTOS

The Muleteam photo webpage - www.muleteam.shutterfly.com - contains hike photos since 2000. You can download your favorites, order photos online or add your own hike photos to the page by joining the Shutterfly site. If available, a previous-hike photo is added to the next-hike post.

Larry has also created a 20th Anniversary Photo Book - more info here.
