Ursula Sherrill, Jim Tolbert and Ana Gallegos lead hike up the ridge
The intrepid Sunrise Hikers began their August schedule of hikes yesterday. Led by expert ornithologist, Ursula Sherrill, eight hikers hiked through Fusselman Canyon and took the Ron Coleman trail to the ridge. Along their way they identified several birds and bird calls, had a lesson about the difference between Sotol and Yucca from Judy Ackerman, and saw some beautiful mule deer.
They plan another hike next Tuesday, August 11: the West Cottonwood Loop. They will meet promptly at or just before 6 a.m. at the main gate to the Tom Mays Unit of the Franklin Mountains State Park.
