Hike to a backcountry ruin in Bandelier

Let's hike to a lovely, small ruin in the Bandelier backcountry.  This is a 14 mile hike (total) - with 1600 ft of elevation gain/loss.  We will start from the Bandelier Visitor Center at 8 am.  Participants should bring hiking shoes, clothing suitable to the weather, 2 quarts of water (minimum), and lunch.   There is one short stretch of loose scree - so hiking poles can be helpful.  The hike will take about 7.5 hours.  A national park pass is required to park at Bandelier - if you do not have one, we can carpool.  

Extra credit!   This is the very first day of daylight savings time - so the meeting time is 8 AM DST Sunday March 8.
