Timber Ridge Hike, May 3

Are you up for a visit to Timber Ridge high in the Magdalena mountains on May 3rd? But let's meet at 8 a.m. at the Socorro schools admin. offices on Franklin St. and get an early start on the hike in case of afternoon storms.

We've been on Timber Ridge before and the views are fantastic. If it's clear enough one can even see over the San Andres mts. to part of White Sands! The trail starts at about 9,900 ft. and Timber Peak is at 10,510 feet according to my topo map. With all the snow on South Baldy this past winter there should be some good wildflowers up there too.

Please observe the usual precautions. Sun protection, snack and water, maybe a walking stick. Also it could be chilly up there, . . ., or not.
