DESCRIPTION:Get ready to channel your inner child as we slide and jump down Arizona’s natural playground! Salome Jug Is a canyon that resembles a water park complete with natural slides!

Read more about this here! \nMake sure to bring plenty of food and water as well as cloths good for swimming. Everything you bring will get wet\, I’ll bring a dry bag for people to put valuables. \n  \nYou must know how to swim and be comfortable rock scrambling this is not a beginners hike! \n  \nMake sure to watch the video bellow to know the epic journey you’ll be treated to! \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXUFPzjS8KA \n  \nACCESS SIGNUP SHEET

SUMMARY:Apache Lake Raft Camping
DESCRIPTION:Join me for a raft camping (raftpacking? packrafting?) trip on the Apache Lake\, one dam up from Canyon Lake in the Superstitions. We will be parking at the Apache Lake Marina & Resort for $30/car and using inflatable rafts to boat 4.5 miles to the LeGrand Cove\, where we will camp on the beach. \n  \nI have a raft that fits 5ish with gear and a one person inflatable kayak. If your buying a raft I recommend buying the Walmart special Ozark Trail Raft and paddles\, currently going for $32. It fits 2 people\, so you can split the price in half. Then\, grab a life vest from Walmart. Or if you want to be fancy\, you can rent a Kayak from the marina for $85/day. Or even a full Pontoon Boat for $550! \nI also recommend getting some drybags so your valuables and sleeping bag don’t get wet\, which can also be found at Walmart. \n  \nThe Poormans Yacht: \nGreat Value Raft and Paddles: $32/2 = $16 \nLife Vest: $12 \nTotal per person: $28 \nACCESS SIGNUP SHEET

SUMMARY:Colorado Backpacking and 14ers: Chicago Basin Grand Slam
DESCRIPTION:Deep in the San Juan Mountains lies the hidden kingdom of Chicago Basin — a remote alpine cirque guarded by jagged granite towers\, wandering mountain goats\, and four ancient 14ers: Eolus\, North Eolus\, Sunlight\, and Windom. \nThe journey begins in the desert of Tempe\, crossing into the high country of southwest Colorado before boarding the historic Durango & Silverton train into the Animas River canyon. From the Needleton stop\, a steep 6–7 mile ascent climbs nearly 3\,000 vertical feet into the basin\, where waterfalls echo through the trees and peaks rise like stone cathedrals above camp. \nOver 3–4 days in the backcountry\, the summit team will attempt all four 14ers in a massive alpine push involving exposed scrambling\, endless talus\, thin air\, and rapidly changing mountain weather. Total trip mileage is expected to land around 30 miles with well over 9\,000 feet of elevation gain. \nA second group will have the option to enjoy a more relaxed wilderness experience by backpacking into Chicago Basin and hiking up toward Twin Lakes beneath the surrounding peaks\, taking in the alpine scenery without committing to the technical summit routes. \nWhether chasing summits or simply immersing in the basin itself\, the trip offers a rare chance to step into one of the wildest and most beautiful mountain landscapes in the American West. \n🗺️ Location: Chicago Basin in the San Juan Mountains of Colorad0\, North of Durango\n🌄 Activity: Backpacking and Summit Push\n🏔️ Skill Level: Advanced to Extremely Strenuous\n📌 Total Miles: 14-32 hard miles\n🥾 Total Elevation Gain: 4500 – 10000 ft (at altitude)\n👥 Max People: 12\n🗞️ Costs: Gas ~$75\, Train $120\, Food\n⛅ Weather: TBD\n🧭 Meeting Place: TBD\n🧳 What to Bring: Backpacking gear and food for 3-4 days in backcountry \nACCESS SIGNUP SHEET
