    This is a multi-day backpack (Friday through Monday, with a likely departure on Thursday night after work, depending on destination) to northern NM/southern CO. The exact location will be determined once we know what snow conditions will be like.  We may set up a car shuttle. Options include the South San Juans, Weminuche Wilderness, or Chama area. We will return by midday/early afternoon on Monday.

    Physically fit beginner backpackers are welcome to join. I'll be happy to advise on gear. We will have a 1-2 Zoom meetings before our departure to hash out details.

    The email notification has been complicated this season for this particular hike. A plan is developing to have email notification sent out. For now, it would be wise to check the Upcoming Trips on the Los Alamos Mountaineers website. The day of the week will be determined by schedules and road construction.  I plan a hike for each weekend until early October.

    We are headed to the San Juans for a long weekend to tackle two scenic 14ers, Uncompahgre and Wetterhorn. We will depart Los Alamos on Friday afternoon and establish a camp in the Matterhorn Creek Basin near timberline. This central location allows us to tackle both peaks from a single high camp. On Saturday, we will take on the broad, majestic slopes of Uncompahgre Peak. On Sunday morning, we will climb the more technical Wetterhorn Peak before packing out and returning home.

    Mt. Baker is widely considered one of the best “first climbs” in North America for anyone interested in glacial mountaineering — and for good reason!

    This is a return trip to the Wind River Range in WY. This is a week-long outing with significant off-trail components, targeting remote valleys with beautiful lakes and impressive peaks. We will be covering 50-60 miles with multiple options to extend or shorten the route, depending on conditions. Trail days will be up to 15 miles, off-trail days on the order of 6 miles, with the option of additional excursions from camp should we arrive early.

    We had a terrific hiking weekend around Hanksville, Utah in October 2025, but there is much left to explore. I have arranged to rent a “Red Rock Cave Home” in Hanksville, Utah (https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/32183107), which will be our base for a week of day hiking in a part of Utah that I had hardly visited before last year. We have the house from Tuesday October 20 to Tuesday October 27, giving us 6 days for hiking.

    I would like to announce the eighteenth edition of our successful hike/explore/bike trips to Moab. We have been going almost every November since 2008, and every time has been a great success. The 2014 trip report can be found at http://lamountaineers.org/node/479#comment-57. Let me (Bill Priedhorsky) know if you would like to join the trip.

    We have many times travelled to Bluff, Utah for a taste of the canyon country, and will do so once again this December. Bluff is less than six hours from Los Alamos and, situated along the San Juan River, at a low altitude best suited for trips late or early in the season. Even in early December the average daily high is around 50 F. There are numerous places to hike and explore from Bluff, including the ruins and big views of Comb Ridge, the canyons accessible from Cedar Mesa, the canyon rim just north of Bluff itself, and farther afield to places like White Canyon.
