That is a great trail and is part of my favorite loop ride in Red Rocks. It
would be tough for me to make the meeting. Are other people going?

Subject: Medicine Wheel - Section 16 Ridge trail (White Acres/Bethany Baptist
Church parcel)

> FYI, here's some info on the White Acres parcel and it coming before the
> TOPS Working Committee to be considered for purchase as open space. If
> any of you have ridden the ridge trail up above Gold Camp Road that runs
> from section 16 north to the top ot the landfill in Red Rock Canyon,
> this is the parcel that contains it. It's a great trail and there are
> many other feed trails that run between this trail and the Meadow Rock
> Loop that drops down to the bottom of the landfill. This would be a
> fantastic addition to Red Rock Canyon & Section 16.
