SUMMARY:Hike: Little Grand Canyon (Moderate to Fairly Strenuous) - FULL (waitlist)
DESCRIPTION:Hike Leaders: Tom Keffer and Lee Christie\, ABDNHA Volunteers \nHIKE IS FULL – PLEASE CALL ABDNHA TO GET ON WAITLIST \n“Little Grand Canyon” is an impressive\, although small\, slot canyon in Coyote Canyon\, near Desert Gardens. This will be our second trip this season\, this time up the canyon itself. The trail meanders up a classic slot canyon\, getting continually rougher — stop when it’s too much for you. If you make it all the way\, you’ll be squeezing through a low-overhead tunnel. Five miles round-trip\, 600’ vertical\, mostly good tread\, with more rocks\, rubble\, and step-ups near the end. Access is via a sandy road that is usually no problem for most 2WD. Meet at ABDNHA by 7:50 am. Bring lunch/snacks\, water. Call 760-767-3098 to reserve. Limit: 10.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Native Baskets - Function and Art - CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:THIS PROGRAM IS CANCELLED. \nSpeaker: Robin TenEyck \nWoven baskets have served essential functions in societies worldwide for thousands of years. However\, there is also an artistry to creating beautiful baskets\, and Robin TenEyck has been weaving exquisite ones for many years. In tonight’s program\, Robin displays some of her baskets as well as Kumeyaay and Diegueno baskets from her collection. She also discusses the history of basket making among Southern California’s native people\, and how the arrival of the railroads in California led to a significant shift from utilitarian to decorative baskets\, prompting the establishment of trading posts and a growing interest in collecting baskets for display as artwork. At the ABDNHA Library. General Public: $12\, Members: $10\, Volunteers: $8. Register online or at the Nature Center\, 760-767-3098.
