Hike: Juanito Canyon-Glorietta Canyon Loop (Strenuous)

ABDNHA Parking Lot 652 Palm Canyon Drive, Borrego Springs

Leaders: Carmelita Logerwell and Terri Straub, ABDNHA Volunteers

Hike 4 miles, 500’ gain. Hike with us cross-country up Juanito Canyon to the top. There are plenty of big rocks to scramble up and around, but nothing too difficult. Then we descend the trail through pretty Glorietta Canyon and walk 0.6 miles on the road back to the cars. Dirt road suitable for all cars. Max 15 people. Meet at ABDNHA by 7:50 a.m. Bring snacks and water. Call 760-767-3098 to reserve.

Nature Journaling in the Field (Easy)

ABDNHA Parking Lot 652 Palm Canyon Drive, Borrego Springs

Leader: Pam Blake, ABDNHA Volunteer

Come practice nature journaling in the field with Pam Blake. Meet in the ABDNHA parking lot at 9 a.m. and set out from there. You’ll need your own supplies and some familiarity with this practice, as this session offers a chance for further nature journaling with a group but without instruction. No charge; call the Nature Center to reserve. This activity is repeated on the third Tuesday of each month.
