SL Chapter 2010 remaining field trips

  • Saturday Aug 14th: Hiking and Potluck in Upper City Creek Canyon
    We have reserved picnic site #24 for our potluck dinner. It is ours for the whole day, so we'll get some wildflower walks in as well. At the very least everybody should get a chance to see the rare Angelica wheeleri a seven foot high member of the carrot family. Hikes will depend on how many people are participating, so please let us know if you are coming. The chapter will provide meat for THOSE WHO HAVE SIGNED UP with Marni by August 12th. Round out the potluck with your own contribution and beverages. Bill Gray will lead a short hike from the end of the road at about 2 pm. Dinner will start about 5:30 or 6 pm. Contact: Marni Ambrose, 801-512-3033
  • Saturday August 15th: Brighton to see Woodnymph (Bill Nelsen)

Chapter area covers all of Salt Lake County, however, folks in neighboring counties are always invited to participate (Davis Co., Tooele Co., Summit Co., Utah Co.) as well as anyone who might be in the area at the time. While intended for members, meetings are open to the public. Please come and see what we are all about!

The chapter meets regularly in the off season (Sept/Oct thru May typically). In the past this has been on the first Tuesday of each month (but more recently has migrated to Wednesday and not necessarily the first or even second since it depends on REI availability) at REI at the top of 3300 South in Salt Lake City; however, the day of the week and location are both subject to change.
