POPs – Presbyterian Outdoor Pursuits

POPs was started many years ago and Gary Jones was a main player. Since then, he married Cathy and enticed Parker and Geni to become involved. Over the past 30 years we have hiked and snowshoed on many trails near Durango, our beautiful high country and other locations all over the Four Corners Region. The photos below are from February 2023 near Purgatory on snowshoes and was 4.5 miles with climbing.

We expect to schedule about 6 adventures each year and will likely focus on the desert areas this year until our high country dries out. Our motto is simple. We hike as fast as the slowest participant can hike. Due to the serious snow levels, we have not yet made a plan for a Spring Adventure. Hikes under consideration include Sand Canyon, Mesa Verde NP and the Colorado Trail.To get on Parker’s email list, please call (970) 946-9551 or email him HERE.
