Labor Day Weekend is here! What that means:
We had a super great Women Who Hike Campout at South Pass City. Friday night, women were introduced to the site sitting on Main Street with a talk by superintendent Joe Ellis. CDT through-hiker Nikki Mann led us out on the trail and to the English Tunnel where we had a great tour. Sunday morning we were able to tour the Carissa before going on our way!
We've had a fun time with pollinator programs this summer! You have one more chance next Saturday at Sinks - otherwise, stay tuned for next summer!
This weekend is Rendezvous! Never heard of it? What?! Said to be the largest Mountain Man event in the country, this four day event draws tens of thousands of people at Fort Bridger State Historic Site. Join Friday-Monday from 8:00-6:00. Entry is $5. I suggest bringing cash, wearing good shoes, and packing a water bottle! Peruse vendor row where you can find handmade soaps, beaded goods, leatherware, and so much more. Visit the museum and the Post Traders Store. It's like the fair -- but make it 1800s. Food and drinks are available too!
The route will take you through beautiful Sinks Canyon - up the North Slope Trail! Profits will go to Sinks Canyon Conservancy, our 501c3 Friends Group.
Save the date! Sinks Canyon will be offering an astrophotography class in October. Registration will go live in September.
Join Bear River park staff in the Rendezvous area of the park (in Evanston) for the Ramblers Orienteering Course!
Join us for our fourth and final Women Who Hike of the year! Sinks Canyon at the end of September will be full of golden aspen and warm drinks. We'll be camping in the Sawmill Campground, hiking, caving, and doing a service project to celebrate National Public Lands Day! Cost is $85. Spots are very limited, so please only sign up if you're sure to attend!
We are celebrating pollinators at Sinks Canyon State Park! In collaboration with the National Recreation and Park Association, we will be hosting a pollinator BioBlitz! at the park's visitor center Saturday September 9th from 11:00-1:00. This is a come and go program, free and open to the public, and no registration is required.
Is it bad if I say I'm most excited about the off-season? We knocked it out of the park this summer and this ranger is ready for a break!
