Discover the location of the historic Beard family sheep ranch, and what we now know as McInnis Canyons NCA.
When: October 22nd from 9 - 11:30 AM
Where: Devil's Canyon trailhead
What: Join CCA and NCA volunteer Terri Ahern for a guided hike to discover the large goat and sheep operation that once existed in what is now McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area!
The amazing story of the Beard Family goes far beyond goats and sheep. While we explore the D1 – D6 – D1 loop trail in McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area (NCA), we will focus on the stories behind the historic Beard family sheep ranch photos. Terri will offer resources for further exploration into this extensive sheep ranch operation. We will hike about 3 - 3.5 miles with minimal elevation gain/loss on sandy soil to discover the historic sheep ranch location. This hike is rated moderate due to the length.
This event is open to all CCA Members
