HIKE THE BROWN CANYON TRAIL
Join the Muleteam this Saturday for a hike through a unique and scenic wooded canyon in the Huachuca Mountains. This trail has some long uphill sections and part follows a running creek making a roundtrip of about 6 miles. Bring water and lunch, back mid-afternoon. Dogs welcome with leash. Meet November 6 at 9 a.m. by the Old Bisbee courthouse fountain. From there we will drive to the trailhead. Alternatively meet at Brown Canyon Ranch at 9:45 a.m. The Forest Service is now charging an $8 per car fee for parking at the Ranch. Fee waived if you display a Coronado National Forest or Interagency pass (America the Beautiful, Golden Age, etc.); else deposit envelope with cash or check. For more details contact Laura at 206-715-6589 or mssmithlg@aol.com.

BACKTRACK - Old Mule Pass Road
Eighteen saunterers (and two javelina) enjoyed a perfect Autumnal day along old Mule Pass Road on October 30, 2021. Though the road was completed in 1914, it was the first time some veteran Bisbee residents made the trip. That's one aspect of the Muleteam that I love: there's such a depth of trail knowledge here, and there's always a new route someone is willing to share. When we reached Route 80, we agreed to spend part of the uphill trek in silent contemplation. (See https://vault.sierraclub.org/john_muir_exhibit/life/palmer_sauntering.aspx for the rationale.) Upon reaching the Divide, a group of four hadn't had enough exercise, and did some up-and-back on Juniper Flats Road. Another lovely Muleteam outing -- Lindsay
