Rubio Canyon Night Time Access

[sonnylawrence]

The Coalition of American Canyoneers (CAC) negotiated access to Rubio Canyon at night. The usual exit from Rubio Canyon enters on private property owned by the Arroyos and Foothills Conservancy (AFC). Due to vandalism, the AFC has closed the property from sundown to sunup. Real time cameras are installed to alert them to people on the property. The AFC respects that canyoneers make good stewards of the terrain. The AFC would like to encourage use of their park by canyoneers. Hence they will allow canyoneers to pass at night. Simply alert Tim Martinez, timmartinez@arroyosfoothills.org, that you will be exiting at night. Give the date and number of individuals. Please stay on the established trails and avoid stepping on native plants. Keep the noise to a minimum as you exit since you will be walking between two private homes.
