Fire Ecology Hike
Led by Bandelier ranger Chris Judson
Sunday, April 27, 12:30 p.m.
The second Sunday outing is a fire ecology hike. On this easy one-hour hike, participants will see what a forest looks like 30 years after a severe crown fire, in this case the La Mesa Fire. Participants should meet at Ponderosa Campground (near the back gate) at 12:30 p.m. and wear long pants and shoes because of the prickly plants in the hike area. Please note that no pets should be brought on either of these outings. FREE
