Yesterday’s park tour hosted more than 200 people! It was a beautiful day for a hike, and the new trails showcased parts of the park that were fun to trek.
If you made it out to the park yesterday, we thank you and hope you enjoyed your time with us. If you missed it, we sure do hope to see you next month at the December 20th tour.
The crowd gathered at the Frankfurt Drive Cul-de-sac as the Friends of Red Mountain Park President, Mike Mahon, provided introductions and prepared everyone for the hike up the mountain.
