Let’s hike Aiken Canyon Preserve, on Saturday March 24th. This is an easy four mile loop, in a lovely area south of town. The trail is on Nature Conservancy land where no dogs are allowed.

We will meet at 
10:00 at the Safeway at 6620 S. Academy and carpool to the trail from there.

If you prefer to meet at the canyon, head south on highway 115 to Turkey Canyon Ranch Road (located 0.1south of mile post 32), and about 16 miles south of the Springs. Turn right and drive 200 yards to the parking area.

Bring water, a small snack, sunscreen and hiking boots.

Some of us will head to the Coyote’s Coffee Den in Penrose for lunch after the hike.
