Walk the Walk Schedule for 5 Mar -6 Apr 08
by Jack Welch
I have had good reports on the Neil Weintraub Keyhole sink walk that he will be conducting every Saturday during the month of March. The start time is 2:00 PM
You can reach the trailhead by driving west (toward Williams) on Highway 40.
Leave the Highway at the Parks, Arizona Exit
Do not cross back over the highway!
Stay to your right and follow that road to the T intersection.
That is Old Route 66
Go west (left) and follow Old Route 66 (paved) until you see a sign on the right hand side of the road
advertising Keyhole Sink. Directly across the street will be another sign advertising the Kaibab National Forest Snow play area. Park there.
I would appreciate a report as to how the waterfall at the sink is flowing.
I hope to see you all soon!
Please note that this schedule may change at any time due to weather or other circumstances. So please re-check the schedule prior to departure for any walk location.
