Description
A hike off trail into the Frederick Bluffs in the Dewdrop Range
- access by the Frederick Road so road conditions may limit which types of vehicles we can use
- numbers may be limited by the vehicles available
- article – Frederick Bluffs
- bring traction devices if conditions are snowy
- a lot of up and down, all off-trail
- strong ankles needed; poles recommended
- the route will be a bit demanding
- lunch along the way at a viewpoint (Bighorn Bluff)
- dress for the conditions
- dogs okay but owners will have to drive (lots of cactus too)
- the final route chosen will depend on the conditions
The Friday Program:
- most Fridays there will be a lower elevation hike (not a snowshoe) right through winter into the spring (and possibly beyond)
- the concept is still in the development stage and we will refine it over the winter
- most hikes will be 1.5 to 3 hours
- Hike leaders include Gerry Hoye, Doug Smith, Dianne Smith, and possibly one more person
- hiking in the snow can be a challenge, but if hikers use good boots, gaiters, appropriate clothing, and carry traction devices, winter hiking can be very rewarding
