“Written in Bark” – Aspens and Arborglyphs Hikethu10sep9:00 amBuckles Lake Trailhead

Names, dates, and drawings etched into the soft, white bark of Aspen trees stand silent witness to travelers from ages past. Carved by lonely sheepherders, cowboys, and sometimes other anonymous wayfarers, these amateur signposts are more than just antique graffiti, with many of them bound in the history and traditions of a bygone era. Local Arborglyph enthusiast/presenter Peggy Bergon leads hikers into the Buckles Lake area south of Pagosa Springs in search of these fascinating artworks on living wooden canvas.
The hike is approximately 3 miles long, with an easy-moderate difficulty level and minor elevation gains. The hike will include some off-trail portions.
When: Thursday, September 10, 2026 from 9am – 1pm
Where: Buckles Lake Trailhead; Take US-84E south of Pagosa. Turn left onto to Forest Road 663. Follow for about 7 miles

Background on Arborglyphs:
Before the days of large cattle ranches dominating the western landscape, pioneering Hispanic families were raising thousands of sheep throughout the region. Woolies, as they were called, were introduced by the Conquistadors in the 1500’s and mutton would quickly become the cornerstone of the early western economy.
By the late 1800’s, local families like the Archuleta’s and the Martinez’s were prominent sheep ranchers with flocks ranging from 20,000 to 100,000 animals. Caring for the animals was entrusted to a sheepherder, with most flocks consisting of approximately 1,500 animals. Each spring, sheepherders embarked on an epic journey to guide the sheep from winter pastures in New Mexico to the lush alpine meadows of Colorado.
With time on his hands, the smooth white bark of the aspen tree provided the perfect slate for the herder to give form to his thoughts. The carvings they left are called arborglyphs, a term that means “tree-writing.” The arborglyphs are a tangible yet rapidly disappearing gallery of unique folk art. Many carvings are over 100 years old and are being lost due to the disappearance of the aging aspen forests. Soon, visitors enjoying the surrounding forests will no longer see these reminders of the past. We strive to capture and honor this huge contribution to the cultural enrichment of the area, while highlighting the importance of these men to the early economy of the west.

Chimney Rock National Monument, recently designated an International Dark Sky Park, is a quiet, wonderful place to observe the night sky, far away from city lights and distracting noises. And at a lofty altitude of 7,200 feet, the Monument affords a beautiful night sky. Held one night each month, this program explores why people for generations have looked at the night sky in awe and wonder. It features discussions about the ancient Puebloans’ connection to the night sky, and how even today, people are fascinated with the dark sky visible from this special spot. Interactive talks cover constellations, galaxies, and observable planets, and their locations on each specific night. Bring binoculars for personal viewing as telescopes may or may not be available.
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
At this altitude, nights begin to cool rapidly after sunset, so an appropriate jacket and other gear will allow you to be comfortable. A flashlight with a red lens covering is an added bonus. This is a “rain or shine” presentation. If weather is inclement, the program will be moved inside. Not recommended for children under 5.

Check-in is at the Highway 151 entrance gate at the time stated below for each tour. Please adhere to the check-in timeline. The gate will be locked at the end of that time. Please note that the tour will begin promptly at the end of the check-in period, so it will not be possible to accommodate late arrivals.

Recreation.gov charges a $1.00 reservation fee that is non-refundable. To ensure this tour is scheduled, reservations are strongly recommended. Reservations will be cut off 12 hours prior to the start of the tour.
This program is rarely at full capacity prior to the event, and we will accommodate walk-ins if space is available. They will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, and must arrive during the specified check-in time frame. Tour tickets can be purchased at the Gift Shop. Note: if no one has signed up for the tour by online reservation within the allotted time frame, the tour will not run. In such a case, walk-ins will not be possible.

Taco Tuesday at Uncle’s is what happens when Tuesday refuses to act like a Tuesday.
Every Tuesday from 4–8pm we’re slinging $3 tacos like it’s a public service. Happy Hour runs 4–6pm, because hydration is important… especially when tacos are involved.
Don’t forget live music. We crank it up with live music from local legends Out on Work Release. Nothing says “midweek motivation” like great tunes, cold drinks, and a stack of tacos that cost less than your gas station snack run.
Who says you have to wait for Friday? At Uncle’s, Tuesday shows up loud, hungry, and ready to party.

SJMA in conjunction with the US Forest Service, Pagosa and Bayfield Ranger Districts, is hosting educational geology hikes, free for the public, from May through October. These interpretive hikes, led and presented by geologists Dave Bouquet and Scott McAllister, will be in an area of the San Juan National Forest rich with evidence of earth’s geologic history from some of the area’s oldest metamorphic rocks, to Cretaceous seaways, to Tertiary volcanoes, to modern glacial deposits.
“Marine Fossils at 8000 ft?” – Coyote Hill Loop Trail
Walk through Ponderous Pine meadows to a beautiful overlook of Pagosa Peak. During this hike, we’ll go off trail and climb to some ridge-forming limestone outcrops in the Mancos formation that contain marine fossils and numerous calcite crystals. Learn why this area was covered by an inland sea for 30 million years during the Cretaceous period.
Trail Description: This is an ~5 loop hike with approximately 450 ft of gentle elevation gain. With stops to discuss the geology of the area, you can expect a time commitment of 4 hours. Pack a lunch or snack as we will be taking a break from the overview stop.
When: September 17, 2026 from 9am – 1pm
Where: Group will meet at the Coyote Hill Trailhead, ~6 miles north of Pagosa Springs on County Road 600 (Piedra Road). Note on Google maps and other sites, this is called the Coyote Hill Trailhead (on the right) and not to be confused with the Turkey Springs trailhead just before it on the left. Note that neither of these trailhead parking lots have a restroom.
What to Bring:
Cost: Free, $10 donation is greatly appreciated!
Please Note: Although pets are allowed in the national forest, we ask that pets be left at home as a courtesy to the other guests in the group.
Registration is required. Spaces limited to 25 attendees.

This program is offered once a month on Saturday evenings from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. during quiet off-hours of the Monument, recently designated an International Dark Sky Park. A 2.5 mile drive from the Visitor Center leads to the upper parking lot where this Native American musical program takes place. Prior to the event, visitors will take a 1/3-mile guided walk along the paved loop through a Mesa Village. The tour provides excellent views of several excavated structures along with discussion of the various aspects of their uses.
Upon returning to the parking area, as dusk progresses and stars begin to appear, visitors will be treated to the haunting melodies of a flute played by our own Charles Martinez. Charles, a Native American, makes his flutes and composes his music. This affords a wonderful opportunity to gaze in wonder at the heavenly skies and ponder what significance they had for the Ancestral Puebloans when they looked up at the same night skies 1,000 years ago. There is a limited amount of seating on wooden and stone benches; so folding chairs are suggested along with flashlights and warm clothing suitable for cool nights. Recommended for ages 4 and up.
Check-in is at the Highway 151 entrance gate at the time stated below for each tour. Please adhere to the check-in timeline. The gate will be locked at the end of that time. Please note that the tour will begin promptly at the end of the check-in period, so it will not be possible to accommodate late arrivals. The fee is $20.00 for ages 13 and up, $10.00 for ages 5-12, and under 5 are free, and is considered a non-refundable and non-transferable donation. Making a reservation through the Recreation.gov website or the call center (877-444-6777) is the only way to guarantee a spot for this tour. Recreation.gov charges a $1.00 reservation fee that is non-refundable. To ensure this tour is scheduled, reservations are strongly recommended. Reservations will be cut off 12 hours prior to the start of the tour.
This program is rarely at full capacity prior to the event, and we will accommodate walk-ins if space is available. They will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, and must arrive during the specified check-in time frame. Tour tickets can be purchased directly from the guide with cash only. Note: if no one has signed up for the tour by online reservation within the allotted time frame, the tour will not run. In such a case, walk-ins will not be possible. Refunds will be issued only for cancelled – not modified – tours/programs. No refunds will be issued for no-shows.

Full Moon Programsat26sep5:15 pmChimney Rock National Monument
This program is offered once a month to coincide with the full moon and provide a unique backdrop in this International Dark Sky Park with a sky unhindered
This program is offered once a month to coincide with the full moon and provide a unique backdrop in this International Dark Sky Park with a sky unhindered by lights of modern-day civilization. Thus, check-in times will vary in accordance with the rise time of the moon.
About an hour before moonrise, visitors will be treated to an informative lecture on topics specific to the Chimney Rock site — ancestral Puebloan culture, archeoastronomy theories, area geology, etc. Then – as the full moon begins to rise – a single flute note follows another and another as you become slowly embraced by the music of Charles Martinez. You’ll be torn between looking west to see the spectacular sunset or focusing on the eastern mountain range to see the first sliver of moon.
Special Note:
Visitors are offered the option to take an early, guided tour of the Mesa Village Trail before the Full Moon program. This Early Tour/Full Moon Package is $30.00 and is available through the Recreation.gov website or the call center (877-444-6777) under the title Early Tour/Full Moon Package. Check-in times are listed in the Early Tour/Full Moon Package description.
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
The entire program lasts approximately three hours including check-in, driving to the mesa top (2.5 miles up a winding dirt road with 20-mph speed limit – allow 15 minutes each way) and hiking the Great House Trail. At the end of the trail, visitors will enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view from atop the mesa ridge. They will also be afforded the closest view possible of the two pinnacles: Chimney Rock and Companion Rock. Please keep in mind that the lecture before the moonrise is approximately 30 minutes in length, and the hike back down the high mesa occurs after dark.
The hike up to the Chacoan Great House Pueblo may be difficult for some due to the steep gradient, uneven footing, and elevation ending at 7600 feet. The elevation gain is 200 feet. Participants should be in reasonable physical condition and willing to hike mostly uphill for 1/3 mile (and return steeply downhill). This program is not suitable for children under 8, and parents are asked to closely supervise their attending children for the safety of all attendees. Water, flashlights, and a blanket or mat for ground seating (no chairs) are recommended.
