#3028 Tour of the Old El Paso County Canal
Tour Leader: Horst Richardson
The El Paso Canal was the irrigation ditch which helped build the city in 1871. General Palmer planned this project to provide water for his Fountain Colony, today’s North End. We will explore remnants of this historic twelve-mile long canal at two sites: West of Bristol Elementary School and in Sondermann Park. There will be handouts and commentary along the way. Please wear good walking shoes and long pants. Bring water and sunscreen. Max: 12
Location: Meet in the Bristol Elementary School parking lot. 890 N. Walnut St.
