NATIVE PLANT DISCOVERY WALK ON THE COTTONWOOD CANYON TRAIL
Date: Tuesday, May 17, 2011
Time: 6:30 to 8:00 PM
Location: Gather in the parking lot of the Kane County Office of Tourism, 78 South 100 East, Kanab. Carpool or caravan to the trailhead. From Highway 89A in Kanab, turn west on Kanab Creek Drive and follow it 1.5 miles through the Ranchos. Turn west on Stansfield Drive. Trailhead is at the top of the hill near the water tank, beyond the dip.
Description: A delightful evening stroll to observe colorful spring wildflowers along BLM’s new Cottonwood Canyon Trail. We’ll explore native plants in blossom until dusk over about 2 miles of trail, depending on flowering conditions and the number of questions from participants. Be prepared for up and down hiking over loose rock and clay, through Moenkopi, Chinle, and Moenave sandstone. Bring water, and sunscreen, wear sturdy shoes, and carry a walking stick.
