Gila Native Plant Society Field Trip to Ira Canyon
Sunday, April 16, 2017, 08:00am |
Meet at 8 a.m. in the south parking lot of the WNMU Fine Arts Center Theater for carpooling. Free and open to the public. This field trip involves a moderate hike up the canyon. There is no trail and there are some minor uneven surfaces, but the terrain is flat and open. The elevation is 4400 feet. The one-way travel time is one hour. Piñon, juniper and live oak are in the woodland. The canyon bottom terraces support some deciduous trees: walnut, ash, hackberry, soapberry. Expect to see composites, mustards, and mints in bloom.
