Hike: Ladder Canyon (Mecca)

Leaders: Greg Winterowd & Amy Brueggemeyer, ABDNHA Volunteers
Strenuous. A beautiful, unique hike that involves climbing ladders as we ascend through a narrow canyon. Climb through creosote, ocotillo, and teddy bear cholla. View of Borrego Springs from the top. Wear proper hiking shoes or boots, a hat, and sun protection; it’s exposed. Bring plenty of water and a snack, and poles if desired. Meet at the ABDNHA parking lot at 7:50 a.m. for a 20-minute drive. Carpooling recommended; 4-wheel drive preferred. No charge, but registration required. Register at the Nature Center or 760-767-3098. Max 9.
