Photos Have (FINALLY – ha!) Been Added

Okay so.. I created a Flickr account for the club and added our photos from all of the trips we have had. You can find the link on the “photos” page or under the “blogroll”

Also – as if it isn’t obvious enough – I changed the design of our website. It’s a new year for the Geo Club and that calls for a new look (I guess)

Red Black Canyon, River Mountain Trail – Saturday, April 26th, 2008 9:00 A.M.

Our River Mountain hike will take place this Saturday at 9:00 A.M. We will meet at the trailhead (directions are posted below). The hike will last about 4 hours round trip and is about 5 miles long. Be sure to bring:

• Hat, shades, sunscreen
• Lots of water
• Lunch (if you wish to eat before you get back into town)
• Good hiking shoes

If you need help with transporation, please leave a comment on this entry. Here are the directions:

• Take 95 South into Boulder City
• The highway will make a sharp, 90 degree turn to the left at a stop light. Continue to follow it, as if you were driving toward the Lake Mead Visitor’s Center
• Pass the street named Colorado
• You will see a sign on your left that says “River Mountain Trail” — Turn here!
• The trailhead (located in a neighborhood) begins between the red and black mountains which are impossible to miss.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Please bring suggestions as we will be making final plans for our end of the year trip.

If you have questions, I’ll be able to answer them until Friday night. Otherwise, you may direct them to a club officer
