Yavapai College: Exploring Coconino County – Mormon Lake Country
August 21 @ 8:00 am - 6:00 pm
$215
The high country east of Verde Valley contains an Arizona rarity, a number of natural lakes, although they do on occasion go dry. We will visit several of these lakes, Stoneman Lake, Ashurst Lake, and the largest of all, Mormon Lake, while exploring the geology and natural history of the area. We will also journey to the the historic decommissioned fire tower on Hutch Moutain, at just over 8,500 feet elevation commanding incredible views of the area. This trip includes about a mile of hiking (on an old road) at over 8,000 feet and some other short walks. There’s a good chance of seeing Elk and other wildlife. Activity Rating: 2.
