I had 9 individuals  who were ready for not only a hike but a geology lesson as well as a history lesson.  The first trek headed out to Badlands Rock to view some ancient Pictographs and an area thought to be a birthing spot for indigenous women.  The next leg of our hike took us up the Dry River Canyon, where we saw multiple layers of geological activity.  We were fortunate to have CONC member/ Amateur Geologist to educate us, when and why this occurred.  Our stats for the day were a total of 8.5 miles with an elevation gain of 550 ft.
