Jan 22-23 (Sat-Sun) Outings Leader Training
SAVE THIS WEEKEND for Outings Leader Training for new leaders! Whether your interest is day hikes or multi-day backpacking, the Dallas Sierra Club actively seeks new leaders. We've reserved the heated meeting space and dining hall at Eisenhower State Park, near Denison, for new leader training. Sleep Saturday night in your tent or inside the building on your air mattress or cot. Come for tales from current leaders and role-playing situations you might experience as a leader. The only fee for the weekend is a $10 park admission. This is an event offered only once every year or two. Don't miss it! Call or email for inquiries. Coordinator: Mark Stein Send Email 214-526-3733
Feb 9-13 (Wed-Sun) Big Bend National Park trip
We've reserved campsites in the Chisos Basin and Rio Grande Village for the nights of Feb. 9 through Feb. 12, 2022. At this early date, we've not determined a definitive menu of options. Parts of the Chisos Basin burned this spring, but fire has long been a part of the Chisos ecosystem. See it for yourself this February. SAVE the DATES. Watch for registration to open in mid-October.
