Description
Rescheduled for Wed. Sep. 20th due to last weeks heavy rain. Join us for an easy walk on the Balsam Glade Nature Trail with Karen Griffin and other volunteers with expertise to identify wildflowers that may be in bloom at the time of our walk (no guarantee of blooms). The walk starts at 8600’ with an elevation gain of 40 feet for a 0.6-mile loop. Along with wildflowers, there will be a rewarding view at La Madera Overlook. Also, we’ll find the steps of an old YMCA Camp that operated from 1935 to 1941. There is a $3 parking fee. Pit toilet. Bring water and sun protection. Limited enrollment.

She volunteers as an Oasis tutor and at Animal Humane NM, where she is a cat socializer and leads the gardening team. She enjoys hiking in the Sandias.
