SUMMARY:Hiking
DESCRIPTION:We will hike McDonald Creek Canyon in the Rabbit 🐰Valley area\, almost into Utah.  Yup\, this is the trail head access that goes down a rough\, winding  road to the “Jabba the Hut” rock.  You will traverse a well worn canyon\, ponder ancient rock art and see some beautiful wild flowers.  We will be out hiking about 2 hours\, with about 100 feet elevation gain\, for this out-and-back hike.  However\, this is somewhat harder than easy due to an area where we have to drop-down and climb-up (on the return) a 5 foot cliff. Fortunately\, someone has built a rock pile to give you a boost.\n\n  Weather will be sunny and in the upper 50’s and lower 60’s\, beautiful.  The hike is partly shady.  4WD cars needed to traverse the sandy\, rough road\, but you can carpool.\n\n   Meet in Fruita at Dinosaur Journey\, East side\, at 0845 to form carpools.    Those that wish will go to award-winning Munchies afterwards.

SUMMARY:Hiking

SUMMARY:Hiking
DESCRIPTION:This is on top of the Redlands\, where you can spin around and get outstanding views of the Grand Mesa\, the Colorado National Monument\, the Book Cliffs\,  and the top of Riggs Hil and the Ridges.  It is not far away and easy to get to\, once you realize where it is.  I try to pick seasonal hikes; and this one is for sure it.  Even though it was dry this year\, I saw amazing wildflowers.  There are places where there are as many as 5 patches of 12 or more flowers  in each square yard.  You will see Townsends daisy\, Golden Aster\, and phacelia in great abundance.  Only once have seen more desert wildflowers in the city area.\n\n    Expect about 200 foot of elevation increase along the paths that may be a little rough\, but still an excellent place to hike.  It may be that the Redlands 4000 Development is will be encroaching in the future\, but it has not yet taken over; and there will still be plenty of places to hike over a wide area.  Get there while you can.    The weather will be mostly sunny and cool lower 40’s to upper 50’s.  Hats and sunscreen recommended.\n\n     The large trail head  parking  lot  is not easy to find\, located at the corner of Holy Cross Drive and Easter Hill Drive\, particularly since there is a road closure at 23 and a one-way street to confuse. Go to the trail head if you know where it is.  For those Newcomers who would like a carpool\, or a car to follow\, we will meet on the Redlands at the shopping center SW of Safeway\, outside Chow Down on the at 0845.

SUMMARY:Hiking
DESCRIPTION:The Holey Bucket trail is located in the Tabeguache Lunch Loop Trail System. The trail runs along the east side of a small valley below Little Park Road connecting the Holy Cross and Clunker trails.  You will see interesting earth formations\, not to mention the promised bucket with hole.  However\, since this is primarily a bicycle area\, please be on watch for bicycles.  Expect a 200 foot elevation increase and about 1.5 mile.\n\n     Temp  should be\, around 50F\, this Thursday and mostly sunny.   Meet outside Safeway \, Redlands\, near the SW corner\, outside Chow Down at 0845.  We will  carpool to the trailhead.
