SUMMARY:West Stronghold Canyon, Dragoon Mountains with Jim Rorabaugh
DESCRIPTION:Registration fee: $35/Members $50/Non-members\nTrip difficulty: Moderate, rocky ground, some inclines. Walking distance: About 1.5-2 miles. Trip\nduration: ~4 hours; there are no toilets in the canyon, but we will stop at my house on the way\nback and you can use the facilities there. 4WD or AWD, high clearance vehicles with all-terrain\ntires recommended. The road in is rough and rocky. Bring a water bottle.\nThis canyon is not birded much, but West Stronghold is one of the most scenic canyons in\nsoutheastern Arizona. If water is flowing, birds should be abundant. If not, there is a spring\nnear the mouth of the canyon. Expect typical sky island lower montane birds. Black-chinned\nSparrows are possible. We will also stop at my property in Dragoon Mountain Ranch on the way\nout. I have seed, suet, and hummingbird feeders. Crissal Thrashers, Pyrrhuloxias, Blackthroated Sparrows, and others are likely.\nLimited to 10 participants.\nDirections to start location: Take I10 east of Benson to Sibyl Road off ramp. Go south on Sibyl\nfor ~3.5 miles. Shortly after you cross the railroad tracks, turn left to the Dragoon Mountain\nRanch gate. I will meet you there at 8 am. We can leave some vehicles at my place and carpool\nto the canyon.\nLeader: Jim Rorabaugh (jrorabaugh@hotmail.com)\nHeader Image: Spotted Towhee by Shawn Cooper\n
