Afternoon hike: Alamo Canyon Valles Preserve

I'd like to arrange a quick trip to the Valle to try one of their background hikes, the Alamo Canyon out and back (see http://www.vallescaldera.gov/comevisit/hike/hike_routemaps.aspx#alamo). We can drive ourselves to the trailhead with the new system. There will be a fee of $10 for adults, but I believe that the fee is waived for holders of a senior Federal lands pass. We'll leave Los Alamos at noon this Sunday (I have a commitment that occupies my morning), drive up to the preserve, and explore.

This trip is now full.  Send me an email if you'd like to be on a waiting list.  
Let's boat the Rio Grande through White Rock Canyon, from Espanola to Cochiti Lake.  
We'll do the trip as an overnight trip - running the car shuttle down to Cochiti Lake on Friday, and putting on the river on Saturday morning.  There is a Class II rapid at Water Canyon and a Class 3- rapid at Ancho Canyon - so previous whitewater experience is required.  (e.g. Monastery run on the Chama)  The trip is suitable for kayaks, canoes, inflatables, and small rafts.

This is a rock climbing trip for Climbing School graduates from this year or other recent years.  It is intended to be a fun, moderate outing to one of our favorite climbing areas so that graduates can continue to improve their climbing skills and get a reward for their hard work during the school!  Tres Piedras is located about 90 minutes north of Los Alamos and features low-angle slab and friction climbing on beautiful granite knobs and slopers, mostly bolt-protected with some gear placements.  We will set some top rope climbs in the 5.7 to 5.10 range.

To explore some new country, and as a practice hike for the May 9-17 Muley Twist trip, let's explore the Galisteo Basin Preserve. The Preserve is a 13,200-acre conservation-based community development project located 15 miles southeast of Santa Fe, New Mexico, in the central Galisteo Basin. An area of exceptionally fragile and ecologically significant land and water resources, the Galisteo Basin is internationally celebrated for its spectacular scenic, cultural, and wildlife habitat values. Most of the land will be kept as open space.
