James Hunter and Beth Cortright will talk about their adventures in Indonesia at the Aug. 27 Los Alamos Mountaineers meeting.

In June 2023, James and Beth joined two of their friends on a tour around a handful of islands in Indonesia. They hiked to see Komodo Dragons in the wild, visited a few caves and waterfalls, and climbed Mount Rinjani, the second tallest volcano in Indonesia.

Hunter is a life-long resident of Los Alamos, active in rock climbing, caving, hiking and many other outdoor activities. Cortright has lived in Los Alamos for 12 years. She enjoys hiking, climbing, caving and backpacking.

The Mountaineers welcome all to their meeting on the regular fourth Tuesday of the month. The social hour, with cookies, begins at 6:45 p.m. and the program at 7 p.m.

The presentation will be streamed at Los Alamos Nature Center; the slides will be live-streamed on Zoom. Registration (free) is required to Zoom and recommended for in-person – we would love to see your smiling face.
