The Grand Teton/ Yellowstone Complex is among the crown jewels of the National Park System. We have several spaces available at the Gros Ventre group campsite (August 1-7,), as well as reservations at a number of backcountry campsites in Garnett Canyon. Occupy yourself during the day, or spend a night in the backcountry, and share a sense of comraderie with your fellow mountaineers in one of North America's most dramatic alpine environments. You can secure a spot in the group site for a $40 deposit.

Exploring San Juan mountains, including a 14er. August 1-3. A 4x4 SUV is required.

We will spend a weekend in the high country of San Juan mountains of Colorado, driving high mountain roads and day hiking.
A 4x4 SUV with high clearance is required for this trip.
Please do not bring dogs on this trip.
On Friday, we will drive to the Uncompahgre Peak trailhead west of Lake City. It's about a 5-6 hour drive (260 miles).
We will start hiking very early (~4AM) on Saturday and summit Uncompahgre Peak. This is a 7.25 mile round trip hike with 3,000 feet of elevation gain. This is a class 2 hike. The views will be spectacular.

Several spots remain and can be had for a $50 commitment fee paid to the trip leader. Several team building and training exercises will be conducted in between now and our departure in July. If you are interested in participating, or have any questions, please contact the trip leader.

Join Zack for a Rio Grande floating adventure. We will start at 10am on Sunday July 13 at the Red Dot trailhead, hike down to the river, continue up the river trail to the bottom of the Blue Dot.

The $3 vinyl inner tube toys at Smiths are suitable for this trip, and/or a life vest or wetsuit. Please invite summer students and postdocs.

Join us for an easy after-work walk/hike to the nearby natural arch.
Besides the photo-op at the arch itself, this gives a nice view of Los Alamos and surrounding area, and shows the consequences of the 2000 fire and the ensuing recovery and changes.

I am proposing a 4 day backpack, to start/end at the Williams Creek Reservoir, north of Pagosa Springs, Colorado.   I will have to do a scouting trip, ahead of time - to make sure the trails are open - but, the area is south from last year's forest fires.  In the event that the scouting trip is not successful - we will switch the hike location - most probably to the South San Juan Wilderness Area, out of Platoro, Colorado.

Santa Barbara Canyon, south of Penasco, NM, has a beautiful series of beaver dams about 7 miles up canyon from the Santa Barbara campground, in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The trail is well graded through a beautiful mountain valley, and rises about 1000 ft to get to the beaver dams.
