Hawk Canyon Campout

Our annual campout with graduating Webelos was held this year at Hawk Canyon in the Borrego desert. On the other side of the cliffs is an incredible slot canyon which was the destination for our dayhike.

Mount San Gorgonio Backpack

After three tries, we finally made us in July 2000. The first attempt in 1997 was stopped by smog (!), the second in 1998 by deep snow. This year, success!
