Brown Canyon

WALK THE BROWN CANYON TRAIL

Join the Muleteam this Saturday November 4th for a hike through a unique and scenic wooded canyon (with fall colors if we’re lucky) in the Huachuca Mountains of Sierra Vista. This trail is well-marked and moderately difficult with a mix of some uphill sections through the forest, following a running creek making a roundtrip of about 6 miles. Bring water and lunch. Back mid-afternoon. Meet Nov 4 at 9am by the Old Bisbee courthouse fountain to carpool or join us at 10am at Brown Canyon Ranch in Sierra Vista. 

The ride to the trailhead at Brown Canyon Ranch (off Ramsey Road/Route 92) is about 45 minutes from the Courthouse. There is a day-use fee of $8 per vehicle, which is waived for holders of National Park Passes (Annual, Senior, Military). Gas donation to carpool drivers is appreciated. For more info email Laura at mssmithlg@aol.com or call her at (206) 715-6589.

BACKTRACK - Ridge Loop

It was perfect weather for 17 people and the first hike of the season. Bisbee soon disappeared as we hiked down Zacatecas and up to the ridge trail to do the loop back around. Great views, and a first time hike for some people. The breeze was nice and the grass was turning orange. We took this photo before the group got scattered, and almost everyone met back at Carol's house for a relaxing potluck. A good start for the new season.  - Larry
