Some things to consider:

  1. 9:00 am sharp departure from Maybell Park. Please come early. We will shuttle in 4wd vehicles to the start of the “hike”. 
  2. The hike is 1.5 miles in length on variable terrain. Please be prepared by wearing closed toed shoes and have clothing for changing weather. We will be stopping along the way to hear from Maybell Irrigation District, J-U-B Engineers (the project design team), and JHL Constructors (the contractor who is in charge of the work) and hopefully time for Q & A.
  3. Water, snack, sunscreen, hat and a camera are recommended.
