Yesterday all of the in-town staff at NOLS Southwest volunteered at an activity called 'Wild for Wilderness'. Lots of folks came out to Sabino Canyon for their weekly hike and there were organizations and people there to let them know about area wilderness areas that they could take advantage of.It was unique in this world that 50 years ago the United States recognized the value of setting aside remote wild places and chose to protect them. This gave American citizens the ability to go out and experience places that are managed to protect them in the state that they are in. We can go on foot or horseback to places where man has no permanent impact and is just a visitor. Get out there, find wilderness and see its beauty and value yourself!
Active Rest Day:
My co-worker and I spent the day filling five gallon water coolers for visitors to Sabino Canyon yesterday. The trails covered a one mile stretch. Throughout the day we traveled back and forth making sure that the coolers stayed filled, walking over 6 miles.
Have a Great Day!
