An overnight backpacking trip in Jemez mountains - CANCELLED

THIS TRIP IS CANCELLED AND REPLACED BY A MORE ADVANCED TRIP
This is a good opportunity for beginner backpackers. We will hike to and camp on the Rabbit Ears mountain, which overlooks the Valles Caldera National Preserve. The hike will start from the St. Peter's Dome road in early PM on Saturday, July 20. We will reach the summit in less than two hours (~2 miles, 1,300 ft vertical gain), set up camp, eat dinner, and enjoy great views of Valle Grande. The next morning, we will eat breakfast, break camp, and hike back to the cars.
There will be three trip leaders plus a Bandelier Ranger available to help you pack your backpack, navigate to the campsite, and answer any other questions you may have. The trip is also the practical piece of a three-part "intro to backpacking" course. For more information about the other two parts, visit this page:

 Attending the classes is not required to participate in the backpacking trip. However, please register for them if you need a bit of advice on gear choices and other aspects of backpacking.
This trip will cost $10 per person. All proceeds will go to Bandelier to supprt their community cooperative programs.
