TCT #2 -- Red Hills ACEC, Chinese Camp

Here's episode 2 of Tuolumne County Trailhead. The first Saturday of 2018 was rainy, but it didn't throw a wet blanket on the enthusiasm of 19 Trail Heads who walked the full 6 miles of Tuolumne's West Side Trail. We were treated to glistening, pearl-like water drops adorning red berries, hidden "historic" stencils, lots of rail, misty mountains, and friendly camaraderie. Hike for a cause -- we meet with Leslie Smith the organizer of the upcoming (2/25/18) "Dragoon Gulch Hike and Run" fundraiser for Sonora's iconic trail system. Finally, February takes us to the Red Hills Area of Critical Environmental Concern in Chinese Camp. Patrick Congdon, a volunteer ranger with the Bureau of Land Management, and Glen White, geologist and educator, share what's significant about this special landscape.
