Friday is going to be another very hot April day, so bring plenty of water. This loop hike will start at Pink Beds and hike up to and along the Soapstone Ridge and onto the Black Mountain and Barnett trails back to our cars. As we hike along the Soapstone Ridge be on the lookout for Showy Orchids. Meet at the Ranger Station at 8:45 for a 9:00 start. RSVP Sharon at sharonbode1@gmail.com if you plan on hiking.

Weather: Partly cloudy with near record temps. High 83° with light winds around 6 mph.
