SUMMARY:Resilience in Bloom: A Monument Canyon Wildflower Hike
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a National Park Service ranger-led morning Resiliency Ranger thru-hike to the base of Independence Monument\, where we’ll explore desert resilience\, seasonal wildflowers\, and the quiet beauty of one of John Otto’s most treasured canyon landscapes.  \nNPS will meet at the Lower Monument Canyon Trailhead at 7:30 a.m. and hike approximately 5 miles total\, beginning and ending at the Lower Monument Canyon Trailhead.
