Planning for the 16th Annual Celebration of Our Mountains got underway last night. A group convened by Randy Limbird of El Paso Scene met at Ardovino's Desert Crossing last night and began scheduling events for fall 2009. Volcanoes and dinosaur tracks, weekend and weekday hikes are all part of the mix.
Dr. Phil Goodell of UTEP started Celebration 16 years ago as a way to include the public on geology field trips. It has since expanded to include much of the greater El Paso outdoors. Trips to the mineral fields and mines near Orogrande as well as visits to Kilbourne Hole west of El Paso in New Mexico are included in hikes and field trips that scour the Franklin, Hueco, Guadalupe and other mountains.
The schedule will be posted later this summer at www.celebrationofourmountains.org.
