Our next hike will be on the historic Scenic Drive.  This Sunday, June 20th, Scenic Drive will be closed from 6:00am to 11:00am to vehicular traffic.  Bring your roller blades, bicycles, baby buggies, or your favorite well worn dusty hiking boots, and join hundreds of your fellow El Pasoans this Sunday and hike across Scenic Drive.  This trail is rated easy to moderate.

The next Back By Noon Hike will be June 19th.  Busy on weekends but still love to get out and hike?  Check out the schedule at El Paso Naturally.  They have weekly sunrise hikes.
