NEW YEAR'S DAY HIKE TO MURAL HILL aka LOS CHRISTOS

Ring in 2022 with the Muleteam on Saturday with a hike to this exposed fin of rock (6,502' -- USGS) that is so noticeable from the traffic circle. The route is a mix of desert trail and unused dirt road, with a short, steep scramble to the top, where we'll break to enjoy views and fossils. Bring water, lunch, poles if you use them, and dogs if you have them; the hike is free. Wear long pants, the catclaw is fierce. The round trip from our meetup at the Old Bisbee courthouse fountain is approximately 8 miles and 1,500' of altitude gain; we will return mid-afternoon. Meet Jan 1 at 9 a.m.; text questions to Lindsay at 954-770-2221.

BACKTRACK - Bisbee Cross

Only six intrepid Mules took part in the Annual Holiday Cross Hike this year, and that was because of two reasons: [1] it was on Christmas Day, so most people had other plans for family events and [2] the day started off cloudy, windy and chilly - not very inviting. Nonetheless, we had a great time, and the weather improved as the day went on. Our small group included two Newbies, so we took it slow and got to know each other and spent lots of time showing them details of the Cross and the nearby Buddhist shrine, as well all the great views of Bisbee from the Cross and City Trail. It was a very good morning, and by the time we returned to the Courthouse it was sunny and warm. -- Doug
