Saturday June 23rd Timber Canyon Outdoor Session

We will gather at the Maverick Station in Bridger at 9:20am and caravan together to Timber Canyon.  The drive into the canyon is semi high clearance off road.  A Subaru Outback or similar will have no problem getting to the climbs.  The climbs are south facing, bring lots of water and sunscreen.

This link takes you to a map showing where we will be climbing.  It takes about 30-45 minutes to get there from Bridger.
