Special to The SUN

Now that Spring has arrived, the San Juan Outdoor Club is looking forward to hosting another full season of hiking and other exciting activities.

The club is a nonprofit organization that is devoted to providing outdoor opportunities for its members — by its members — and offers a schedule that includes weekly day hikes and mountain biking, backpacking, plus a monthly meeting covering topics of interest and three parties a year. Our primary goal is to get outdoors and have fun together.

The hikes cater to a range of ability levels and, while most take place in the beautiful mountains that surround Pagosa Springs, we also schedule a few trips that are further away. Indeed, we’ll be heading over to Bryce Canyon National Park in a few weeks to sample the hiking there.
