2nd Annual Margie Powell History Hike

Last year's first annual Margie Powell hike, which was in Summit Canyon, was a huge success. We explored the petroglyphs, the Lincoln Highway, the 1914 underpass, China Wall, and the railroad.

This year's scecond annual hike will be a circumabulation around Summit Valley. We'll explore the mortars and metates and learn about the Native Americans, learn about Summit Valley Ice Co., the Dutch Flat Donner Lake Wagon Rd. and walk the remnant, learn about the dam first built about 1870, see the sheep industry remants, see a hotel and cabin site, and more.

This year we will offer the hike on two days,

August 10 & 11 2013

Stay tuned for time and meeting place.
Bring lunch, water, sunscreen, comfortable shoes, and a hat. The walk is a flat and easy four miles.
