Join us for an easy after-work walk/hike to the nearby natural arch.

Besides the photo-op at the arch itself, this gives a nice view of Los Alamos and surrounding area, and shows the consequences of the 2000 fire and the ensuing recovery and changes.

Normal walk/hike speed is 25-30 minutes each way, so with sightseeing and picture-taking this will run a little over an hour.  This is nominally targeted at summer visitors but all are welcome--indeed, last year two of our most experienced Mountaineers joined and were extremely helpful with keeping the group on course and answering questions; this year that could be you!

We'll depart from the Mitchell trailhead at 6:30pm sharp, Wednesday July 9, unless there's rain enough to flood the canyon (highly unlikely).

Attached map (LAM website only) shows the location of Mitchell trailhead as a small yellow marker in the upper left corner.  No need to sign up, just show up.
