Hiking Oct. 21, 2015

My first organized hike with the Sun City club

The hike on Monday, Sept. 21, 2015, was in Kyle Canyon on the Cathedral Rock trail.
This hike is an out and back of 3 miles r/t with elevation gain of 900 feet . The
aspens along this trail were a blaze of gold !

Meeting place: Desert Vista (lower parking lot)
Departure time: 8 a.m.
Return time: 12:30 pm

There was three separate hikes
Wednesday on or around Lone Mountain prior to the breakfast. As there is continual construction around the Lone Mountain area, we had to make some changes to our normal routes. We meet at Desert Vista and left at 8:00 a.m. for Lone Mountain Picnic area on the East side of the Mountain. Once everyone gathered there, Ann talked about the different routes and how some changes needed to be made. Brian Dodd
coordinated the North/South or South/North route, Terry Hirni coordinated the route up the West side, and Ann Cronin coordinated the partial around the base of the mountain. The Dodd hike had some exposure a little more strenuous. The hike that Terry coordinated was moderate up the West side and the hike Ann coordinated was the less strenuous one. The weather was great and a good time was had by all.

Great breakfast was served after the hike.

The 4 mile road to the visitor's center is now paved all the way. The Corn Creek station is located off Rt 95 north approximately 7 miles after the turnoff to Kyle Canyon (rt 157) and 5 miles before the turnoff to Lee Canyon.

We toured the visitor center and then hiked the nature trails out back for a total mileage of 2.5 r/t. These nature trails are easy to walk and with minimal elevation changes. There is no fee to visit this area and it is a great place to bring your out of town guests/grandchildren.

The weather was great with sun and a little wind and temps in the 70s. My cell showed 1.68 miles. Tell me the desert doesn't have some green. Thirteen made the hike.
