St. George Field Trip details



Following are the details on the St. George Field Trip:
 
    Dates:  Thursday - Saturday  May 9th to 11th
    Thursday - St. George area - Meet at the Virgin River Parkway trail south-
         east of the south end of Bluff Street.  (the south end of the parking lot
         across from the  Dixie Center)
        Time: 6:30 A.M.
        Those wanting to meet us later may call my mobile 362-8288 to find out 
         where we are.
 
    Friday - Zion's National Park
        Time:  7:00 A.M. at the Visitor's Center tram ride ( It takes around an hour to
        get to the Park from St. George.)
        We will take the tram to the end of the line and walk up the trail to look for 
        the Painted Redstart for those who still want it.  After finding it, we will walk 
        down  the canyon by the river or along the road, which ever you prefer, so             
        that those who want to get their 30 species in Zion's may do so.  Those who
        prefer not to walk, may ride the tram and get off at each stop and bird that
        particular area or just sit and enjoy nature. Dress warmly.  Early hours in the
        canyon can be cold.  I was still chilly with a turtleneck and sweatshirt last Friday,
        but by afternoon I was roasting.
   
    Saturday - Lytle Preserve
        Time:  6:30 A.M. at the top of Utah Hill ( About 1/2 hour from St. George) 
         From Utah Hill we will go on to Lytle where you can spend as much time as
        you want.  Some of us need to be back in Provo by early evening.
 
    Bring what you need for lunches.  There will be quick breakfast items at my home
    for anyone wanting them.  We will also have a not fancy dinner and get together at
    my home Thursday night, (and possibly Friday) y'all are invited.  Address:  39 North
    Valley View Drive  #1.
