After a year off of this popular LAM trip, I'm excited to get back to Zion National Park for some canyoneering. I hope you will join me! The 2019 dates are September 26th to October 1st. The first and last days are considered travel days, and the four days between are canyoneering days.

In order to keep this trip notification short (I tend to write very long ones), I have put all of the general trip information on my website at http://www.canyoneeringnm.org/lam-zion-trip

For club members certified in WFA or WFR (or those recently timed out) who would like to participate in a 'non-formal' review and refresher, lets spend Saturday September 21st at my house starting at 10:00 AM. We will spend about an hour reviewing systems and fundamentals. After that we will set up a series of scenarios with different sets of participants acting as patients, responders and observers. Following each scenario we will critique the response as a group to identify positive elements and alternatives to the actions taken by the responders.

This is one of my favorite hikes in Los Alamos. We will meet at the trailhead at 8 am, about 1.5 miles north of the intersection of NM 501 and NM 4.The second half of the hike has a completely different feel than the first. It is a steady climb up 1700 ft over 4 miles to the rim of Valle Grande, and then we return along the same trail for a total of about 8 miles round trip.  It isn’t completely shaded, be prepared with sunscreen. Bring a hat, lunch, and plenty of water. There might be some rain, so bring rain gear and layers. It should take about 4 hours.

Sorry, too little interest for this outing. I'd recommend the Canyon de Valle hike closer to home the same day. Bill

Some of us who went to El Diente last summer have picked a new destination for this year:  Phoenix Peak, over the August 16-18 weekend.  Phoenix Peak (formerly called Unnamed 13,895') is in the eastern part of the San Juan mountains near Creede.   This peak is a high Thirteener in an area that does not see a lot of visitors.  It is one of the top 100 peaks in Colorado, so peak baggers take note!   However, it is technically easier and less rocky than most of the Centennial peaks, with most of the route being on trails or grassy slopes.

This is a scouting hike for the LAM August 16-18 weekend at the Brazos  If you can't make the weekend trip, come on the exploration on the 11th. As previously noted this is an exploratory hike. Consequently, participants will need to be adequately prepared and adaptable to potential changes in path and terrain.
