Snake Valley Field Trip. Come See for Yourself! Reserve the Weekend of August 22 nd to 24 th

 

We’ll meet up with folks from the Toiyabe Chapter (The Toiyabe Chapter includes all Sierra Club members in Nevada plus a small slice of eastern California.) of the Sierra Club and experts on desert hydrology and biology to find out about the proposed water grab by the Southern Nevada Water Authority.

 

The Snake Valley is a land of amazing contrasts with harsh alkali playas alternating with wetlands and agricultural land on the valley floor, and wildflowers and pines on the slopes of twelve- and thirteen-thousand foot peaks along the valley’s western border.

 

This should be a fun weekend, Friday, August 22 nd through Sunday the 24 th, in the magnificent scenery on the border between Utah and Nevada. Many of the folks attending will choose to camp at one of the campgrounds on the cool upper slopes of Great Basin National Park. Plenty of time for play and exploration in the park, home to high mountain lakes and millennial bristlecone pines.
