Field Trips and Dinner
8 PDHs
9:00-4:00pm: Choose your own Adventure Field Trip
Extend your stay in the cool pines by participating in one of our Saturday field trips. Friday night camp out at Dogtown Lake Campground in Williams, Arizona and join us for a river-kitchen style dinner followed by fireside (weather-permitting) networking. Not a big tent camper? We have room blocks available at the Drury Inn for the weekend! Off-site participants will join us no later than 8:50 AM for departure from Dogtown Lake Campground.
You’ll pack your lunch before two incredible trips depart Dogtown Lake Campground on Saturday morning; one led by Erin Young and City of Williams, exploring the Williams-area water resources, reservoirs, and wells.
Pack your boots and plenty of water for Option #2, with multiple moderate and slightly technical hikes (approximately 4 miles total) to Williams-area springs, waterfalls, and other neat hydrologic features. Enjoy an overview of the paired watershed studies, springs ecology and restoration, and Williams regional hydrogeology presented by Dr. Abe Springer (NAU) and Zachary Keller (SRP).
Wrap up the day with dinner at Historic Brewing Company (*dinner not included in trip cost*) before retiring back to Dogtown Lake Campground for another evening under the stars.
