confusion range car camp - May 9, 2020
The WMC offers COVID conscious opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.
Participants of all in-person events should bring and wear face coverings, expect social distancing, and changes to our usual practices.
To support contact tracing and hands-free signing of the WMC Liability Waiver, online registration is required for all in person WMC events.
The Confusion Range is the next range west from the more-famous House Range in the West Desert, with similar sheer cliffs and deep canyons. On Saturday, we'll explore Cat Canyon and perhaps reach King Top (the high point). On Sunday, we'll visit jagged Bonny Stairs Canyon and world-reknowned Fossil Mountain, where brachiopod fossils crop out in a "coquina", a rock made almost entirely of masses of fossils. The hikes will be off-trail and partly exploratory.Level: | MOD |
