HIKE TO MT. BALLARD PEAK
Join the Muleteam this Saturday, February 28th to hike to the highest point in the Mule Mountains, west of the “Divide” with outstanding views of Bisbee, Mexico, and the Huachuca Mountains. This is a fairly difficult hike on a natural path with a steep rocky section. The total distance round trip is only 3.5 miles, but includes an elevation gain of 1,300 feet. Bring water and snacks or lunch. Back early afternoon. Free. Dogs welcome, but be aware that there is lots of cholla along the narrow trail.

BACKTRACK - San Pedro hike and picnic
Our riverside hike and picnic was as good as ever. About 24 hikers and four dogs. Weather was perfect: sunny and in the mid 60s. Hike to the San Pedro was fine. Some of the team went to the Old Cemetery and then all gathered at the Mill for the classic group photo, followed by another gourmet picnic (special thanks to Laura for her custom Margaritas). After a long meal most of the team continued on the long loop back along the river. See you all next year at the 17th Annual. - Doug
