HIKE BISBEE RIDGE TO JUNIPER FLATS
Join the Muleteam this Saturday for THE BEST views of Old Bisbee! This hike is 6.33 miles round trip. The hike starts up Clawson Ave. to High Road and then on to the City Trail and Ridge Trail. The most challenging section is climbing up to the Ridge Trail, where some light rock scrambling is required. You will be rewarded with the views, which get better and better as you ascend! If this is too difficult, there is an option to go the more well-traveled trail around the top.

We will hike up and down the ridges (or around) overlooking town and lower Wildcat Canyon all the way to Juniper Flats. We'll eat lunch at the pagoda and enjoy the view. The return is ALL downhill, walking on Juniper Flats Rd. to West Blvd. and back down to Tombstone Canyon. Bring water, lunch, walking poles optional, dogs welcome. Back early afternoon. Meet Dec. 9 at 9 a.m. by the Old Bisbee courthouse fountain. Free. For more details contact Susan Mayes at 610-220-5287.

BACKTRACK - Ramsey Canyon
The hike in Ramsey Canyon from the Nature Conservancy Preserve up the canyon to an intersection with other trails was one of the most beautiful hikes the leader has taken in a long while. The total distance of the hike and the total elevation gain vary according to whose device is being checked.
One hiker became separated from the group on the way up and due to being out of cell phone range at a crucial time, the hike leader unfortunately was not able to communicate and give directions to our location, but that hiker wisely returned to the starting point and was fine.
The others who did complete the hike, or completed most of the hike, agreed we were lucky to experience the leaf colors, the water in the creek and the views of Ramsey Canyon.
Thanks to Larry, Anne and Doug for their efforts to insure parking and arrival for all. It turned out however, that the parking lot was not full when we arrived. - Molly
