This is a run you don't need a group for, it's a guided tour from the NPS that you register for individually. It takes all day, you see an old Mission, an old ranch, and the largest set of dinosaur tracks in North America. I'm going later this year, it's available most Saturdays.

This is the kind of thing that the USFS needs to do more. Ranger guided tours. Think of all the interesting tours that could me done up here in mining country. An easy way to establish a 'presence' with USFS personnel. Allows them to keep an eye on resources and educate the public.
