Ghost Ranch mesa loop

If the weather permits, let's get out on Saturday Dec. 18 to continue the explore that we started on Nov 26 and complete a loop from Box Canyon to Chimney Rock above Ghost Ranch. We will take the trail up Box Canyon, get on the mesa, and connect to the route that we explored on the 26th. This will be an explore off the beaten path. This is a weather permitting hike, and depends on what snow we might get next week.

We will leave Los Alamos at 8 AM, so as to start the hike about when Ghost Ranch opens at 9:00. Bring a lunch, water, sunscreen, and clothes appropriate for the weather. Admittance to Ghost Ranch for hiking costs $10 - please register and pay at https://www.ghostranch.org/things-to-do/activities/outdoor-activities/. I expect to be out until mid-afternoon or so, so we might not get back to Los Alamos until dark. We will figure out carpooling when we gather the morning of the hike.
