Sept. 6th (a first Saturday!). Leaving at 8 a.m. from the Socorro Public School admin. office parking lot on Franklin Street. We'll enter the Quebradas road from the S. end off US 380; the trailhead is 10 miles or so north from there. High clearance vehicles preferred.
This hike will be ~3 miles r.t. through a spectacular arroyo with several narrowish passages and lots of cliffs, including one visible from across the river (see attached photo). The rocks and plants are very diverse. We've found layered gypsum and fossils along the way too.
As usual, wear good hiking shoes, bring a walking stick, water, snack. We will car pool as much as possible.
Bob Merkel will be leading this very interesting educational hike. For those of you who don't know Bob, he is quite a naturalist and has so much to share about plants, geology, and animals of this area. We are in for quite a treat on this hike. Thanks, Bob!
