Bisbee Cross(es)

HOLIDAY HIKE TO THE BISBEE CROSS
Hiking to the Bisbee Cross on Christmas Weekend is a 20-year Muleteam tradition. Join us on Saturday, December 27 for the short and mostly easy (except for the final ascent to the top) hike with the very best views of Old Bisbee. This tends to be a family/visitor event, so everyone is invited. Meet at 9am at the Old Bisbee Courthouse. Dogs welcome. Bring water and a snack, but we’ll be back by noon. Any questions, contact Doug at 520-432-0307 or reiniger@wyoming.com.

BACKTRACK - Echo Canyon
Perfect weather for a good group of 19 friendly hikers to wander through giant rock formations, with different views around every corner. Some explored up into the grotto area, many photos were taken (click link below to see more) and everyone had a relaxing lunch perched along the sides of a creek bed. The drive was worth it - a very fun day out with friends. Thanks for hiking with me. - Larry

BACKTRACK - Joe's Canyon
17 intrepid hikers enjoyed a picture-perfect day while hiking Joe's Canyon from the Coronado National Memorial visitor center. About half the group finished the hardest 2-1/2 miles, rested at the saddle at the top of Smuggler's Ridge before returning; the other half continued on to Montezuma pass and/or Coronado Peak. Note that for anyone who'd like to do the easy (downhill) half of this hike, the Park Service offers a shuttle service a few times a week; check the Coronado National Memorial website for specific dates/times. - Sue

Joe's Canyon

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
