Thank you to many of you for attending the pollinator event at the Westside Open Space. What a wonderful outing! Our group was multi-generational with 20 participants. We were guided by the Westside Open Space Visitor Center staff Kent Swanson, Brianda Rez, and Marisa Valdez. We visited an art display about pollinators, learned about what pollinators do, visited the pollinator garden, and the nocturne garden. Pollinators are vital to helping plants reproduce by helping plants make fruit or seeds. They ...
Trip report – Ancho Rapids/Frijoles hike
10/14/2017
From leader Aku Five hikers had a PERFECT day on Saturday for a hike from the Ancho Rapids trailhead to Lower Frijoles Falls in Bandelier, and back. After a brief side visit to Ancho Rapids, they hiked through White Rock Canyon, enjoying both the exceptional scenery and the considerable challenge of getting to the falls. In the last few years, the route along the bank of the Rio Grande has become much more overgrown and impeded by deadfall through ...

10/8/2017 From leader Aku:
The weather stabilized beautifully for Sunday’s Sierra Club Frijoles Canyon loop hike, providing a perfect fall outing for Larry, Heidy, Bojan, and Aku in Bandelier. Box elders and many other lower elevation, deciduous trees and shrubs were showing lots of fall color, and we had almost the entire route to ourselves. It was also an ideal opportunity to experience the spectacularly well-done clearing and “remodeling” of both the Frijoles Rim Trail and the Frijoles Canyon Trail ...

Outings reports: May 2016-January 2017
Painted Cave Saturday, May 7
From leader Larry Hughes:
The Painted Cave did not disappoint. The cave itself is much larger than one would expect from seeing photos, and the petroglyphs are numerous, varied and very vivid. All of us had the same first impression — WOW! As a side note, from the Dome trailhead, the round trip distance is about 13.5 miles. (Larry also advised to watch for falling trees on Dome Road and hike, especially on windy days.) ...
