hiking

This Thursday we will hike in McInnis Canyons to an old settler's cabin that has been partially restored to preserve its rustic appearance, known as Skinner's Cabin. According to one hiker, " It's a super easy trail with beautiful rock formations and fun and informative placards" This hike is so short that we will combine it with the nearby Fruita Paleo Trail. On this trail you can read the informative geological and paleontological signs, close your eyes and imagine that you are walking amid the dinosaurs. 🦕🦕 🦕 Total for the 2 hikes is less than 3.5 miles and 200 feet elevation gain. Hike time, about 2 hours. It should be sunny 🌞 and cold, around 30 degrees. Jim is to be thanked for suggesting these 2 hikes and will be leading, as I need to be out of town Thursday.

Note: As with last week, There is a slight chance that the atmospheric river, now hitting California , may cause a weather problem here again. Watch this space for more information. As usual if it rains at hiking time, the hike will be cancelled. Otherwise we should have a good hike.

We will meet in Fruita at Dinosaur Journey Thursday, at 10:00 (Still late). We will then carpool to the trailheads. Afterwards, we may find ourselves at Munchies. Who knows?
