Sagebrush, Meadowlarks and Puffballs, Oh My!

Join naturalist Kristin Fletcher for a free evening walk on Wednesday, May 14, along a portion of the new trail system up Slaughterhouse Canyon, just east of Bellevue. Participants should meet at Hop Porter Park, leaving at 5:30 PM, or at the south side of Bellevue’s Memorial Park, leaving at 5:45 PM. The hike will conclude between 7:00 – 7:30 PM. Participants will learn about the fascinating Sagebrush Ocean in our midst. We’ll share a little about the local geology and mining history of the canyon and then saunter to a fine spot overlooking the Wood River Valley, observing spring blooms along the way. Travel will be mostly easy walking with a very short, moderate stretch on an uneven surface. Please, no dogs.

The two met at Fitzgerald’s in 2015 when Andy bought a fat bike from Kyle—two years later, Andy was working there too. They opened Trailhead Bicycles in April 2022 and have been busy ever since. Andy and Kyle live fairly opposite lives: Andy and Erin are parents to their 6-year-old daughter, Finley, and shop dog 11-year-old Elliott (if you’ve been in the shop, you’ve likely seen this huge, loveable guy) who all live in Woodside. When not on the bike, Andy and the family can be found outdoors doing it all—lake days, paddle boarding, hiking, and biking, of course. Kyle lives by himself in Ketchum, commuting daily to Hailey by biking on the bike path or reading on the bus. Kyle’s a big runner and reader when he’s not biking, and the two friends also like to get together to watch soccer. Assuming the trails are dry and ready for biking (a bit of …
