Date: October 1st 2008

Hi All,

The crisp fall air continues and is motivation to get out and up into
the mountains for gorgeous views out over Logan and the Cache Valley.
This Sunday's hike (8/5) will climb up the west side of Mt. Logan via
either Dry Canyon (strenuous) or Providence Canyon (less difficult). For
the Dry Canyon hike, we're looking at an approximately 6 mile (one way)
distance to the top and 4,500 ft of elevation gain; Providence Canyon is
shorter, 1,000 - 1,500 ft of elevation gain over 4 - 6 miles roundtrip.

We will meet at 8:30 AM on Sunday 8/5 at the Dry Canyon Trailhead.
Directions are from downtown Logan: Take Center Street east. It becomes
Mountain Road which makes a right onto Forest Rd 25 a few blocks below
the mouth of Dry Canyon and the Trailhead. Park at the cul-de-sac above
an upscale neighborhood near the sign that says "Devere and Velda
Harris' Nature Park and Reserve". The trail starts up the 4-wheel drive
road from there.

Directions to the Providence Canyon trailhead are: in Providence, go
south on 100 E which becomes canyon road. Follow the road up past the
old quary and then conyniue up until it looks good to start hiking.

Bring plenty of water and lunch and/or snacks. The upper reaches of Mt.
Logan can also be windy, so be prepared with a jacket or extra layer.

RSVP to hikers@new2logan.com <mailto:hikers@new2logan.com>; or

minutes past the scheduled start time for anyone who RSVPs.

See you Sunday!
