Fieldtrip to Flagstaff Area
location:
Saturday, July 10, 2010
8:00 AM - 2:00 PM
Come and join us for some superb summer butterflying in the cool and attractive San Francisco Mountains north of Flagstaff. This is an excellent time to visit the high country and we have a chance to see a wide variety of high elevations species. We will be working the Schultz Pass road and the creek which crosses this road. If the weather cooperates, we may also visit the inner basin between the mountains. There is also a road around the north edge of the mountains that may be worthwhile.
We will meet Saturday at 8:00 AM at the Denny’s near the end of I-17. This is just after you cross under the I-40. For those wishing to drive up in the morning, it is approximately two hours from the junction of I-10 and I-17. You will need drinks and something to eat, as there is not much except butterflies once we leave Flagstaff. For those who wish to come the night before, there are numerous motels in the Flagstaff area, as well as camping. Please be prepared for the possibility of clouds and rain, which could impact our ability to look for butterflies. There will be little strenuous hiking, with most of the butterflying being done along the roadside or in meadows. However much of our trip will be above 8000 feet, so it may feel more strenuous.

We ask for a $5 donation per person.
