Update as of Monday, Nov. 24: Because of a prediction of unpleasant weather on Sunday, I am moving this trip up by one day. We will hike on Saturday Nov. 29, rather than the originally announced Sunday date. BP
Come enjoy some outdoor time on black friday/aka: opt-outside day for us hikers and work off all the turkey!
We will hike Burnt Mesa Trail in Bandelier, with a side spur to visit the eagle traps. It will be a 5.5-6 mile out and back, with ~650 ft elevation gain. Appropriate sun protection and water are needed for the trip.
There is not a lot of parking at the trailhead, so for those coming from Los Alamos, we will meet at Sullivan field at 9:10 am in order to carpool. We will meet at the trailhead at 9:30 am.
I would like to announce the seventeenth 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.
Petroglyphs, ruins, natural arches and a slot canyon. 8-miles, out-and-back, along an arroyo.
This is a remote hike in the Chamisa Wilderness Study Area, southwest of Cabezon Peak. The drive from Los Alamos to the trailhead takes approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes. The last hour is on a well maintained, mostly flat dirt road.
The weather forecast looks great for this weekend, so let's get out for another climbing outing! Potrillo Cliffs offers a range of technical climbs, from 5.6 to 5.12. Top rope or trad. Please bring your own gear: rope, anchor-building equipment, harness, shoes, helmet, belay device, etc.

Are you ready for a nice, long day hike in beautiful meadows through Oat and Hay Canyons in the Jemez Mountains?
Join Sylvie Adam with PEEC and the Los Alamos Mountaineers for this fall hike along Rio Cebolla. Participants will meet at Los Alamos Nature Center at 8 AM and arrange a carpool. The hike is out-and-back, approximately 10.5 miles round trip. The group will begin at the Seven Springs Campground, just past the Seven Springs Hatchery, about 75 minutes drive from Los Alamos.
Please join Toni, Gwendolyn and other local climbers for a fun and safe day of outdoor climbing at one of White Rock's local crags. We especially encourage new LAM climbing school graduates to come out and refresh/relearn your newly acquired skills. Please bring your own gear, but contact me if you don't own a rope, anchor-building gear, and/or quick-draws (or trad gear). And, if you don't prefer to lead a lead a route, please don't feel intimidated - there will be climbers there who can/will lead and set up routes as topropes for you to climb.
Let's get together on Friday October 10, 2025 at Camp May pavilion. There is a fireplace and a covered area with picnic tables. We will attempt to recreate our gathering of July 23,2024 with a potluck dinner, campfire and stories. Note that Ellen Mills's final Ski Hill Potluck Dinner Hike is on October 3. This outing can be considered an add-on to that series of hikes and potluck dinners.
This will be a 2-night backpack to the Sangre de Cristos in Colorado, doing a loop on the Venable and Comanche trails via Phantom Terrace. The terrace is known for its exposure and the loop for its views. The elevation gain is quite significant, ca. 3,000 ft the first day over 4.5 miles, another 1,000 ft the second day to the ridge, plus two (if time permits) summmits to Venable and Comanche peaks, both of them over 13,000 ft (that's another 1,100 ft or so in combined elevation gain).
