HIKE JOE’S CANYON TRAIL
Join the Muleteam this Saturday, December 13th, 9am at the Courthouse fountain to carpool for a hike from the Coronado Visitor Center through a very scenic valley in the Huachuca Mountains to Coronado Peak for a good view of Mexico. The hike starts out on Joe’s Canyon Trail with a 1,400 foot ascent up a rugged drainage, but is eased by numerous switchbacks. The trail then flattens out on Smuggler’s Ridge, a thin grassy saddle with amazing views of Mexico. We return down the same way for a total of about 6.5 miles. Bring water and lunch, but no dogs. Free, but gas donation is appreciated. For more details contact Sue Logan at (612) 810-0689 or subylogan@msn.com.

BACKTRACK - Twin Buttes
17 intrepid hikers and several dogs set off from Oro Road heading south across the desert toward the distant East butte. The weather was picture perfect for hiking. They crossed 5 fences using a variety of techniques, some better than others and arrived at their destination in a little less than 2 hours. Following a leisurely lunch among the fossils atop the butte they returned via a less onerous route (but still two fences) along the eastern flank of Easy Acres. Distance covered 4.5 miles and elevation gain of 289 feet, 2 hours 35 minutes moving time. - Steve
