| the hike |
Head up Copper Canyon as far as we can take the vehicles.
If we have enough people we will try as a car shuttle leaving one car
at MP278. We will try to find and follow Tomkins Trail #513 as shown
on National Geographic map #854 (Blue T1-T6). Then take forest roads
to connect with MP278.
Option 2: We could stay in the canyon and follow FR136 to MP 278 (Red N10-N12, Green C6-N10). Option 3: If cool enough we may try to make a loop. Specify your wish.
