We'll gather downtown** at 8 a.m. this Saturday (9/6) to discuss the trip and informally arrange rideshares. The group will then caravan to Rock Creek Canyon, located approximately 45 miles west of Laramie near Arlington. The trail has a steep uphill and then downhill section immediately after the parking area, but then levels out along the creek, where we may see dippers. Our pace will be participant- and bird-driven. If it is a small group, we will walk along slowly to accommodate both birding and all participants. If we have a large enough group, we'll consider breaking into a faster "hiking" group and a more leisurely "birding" group.
Please be prepared for a variety of weather conditions, with sturdy shoes, warm layers, rain and sun protection, snacks, and water. We anticipate being back to Laramie by approximately 12:30 p.m., but participants with their own transportation are welcome to leave earlier or stay longer -- we do ask that you let the trip leader know if you decide to turn back or to forge ahead (leaving the group).
** Meeting Location - 1st Street Plaza in downtown Laramie (corner of 1st Street and Grand Avenue). All day parking is available along 1st Street.
