Note: this trip is full, but we are collecting a waiting list

Join us for a hike through the red rock wonderland of Arroyo del Cobre near Abiquiqu. We'll hike through a slot canyon to a high point and then visit some amazing geologic formations, part on-trail and part bush-whacking. Approximately 5 miles with a close fit in the slot canyon and about 800 ft elevation change. Car pool from the White Rock Y, leaving at 8 a.m.

This is a joint PEEC/LAM hike.

Meet at the Pajarito Environmental Education Center at 5 pm.  We will carpool to the east end of the horse stables on North Mesa (Kwage Mesa Trail).  We will hike out/back (~ 2 hours), then return to the Nature Center for a potluck dinner.  I will provide tomato soup and cornbread.  Bring something to share if you can.

Bring a headlamp or flashlight.

Skiing might be mediocre (at best) elsewhere in the state, but Sipapu has good snow coverage. They bought and paid for it, making snow in large amounts so that they now have 14 runs open. I've skiied there, and so have friends, and we found the conditions surprisingly good. Sipapu ranges from free (with a Pajarito pass) to economical (for anyone). I'd like to gather whoever is interested for a day of skiing at Sipapu this Saturday, carpooling from Los Alamos at 8:00 AM, and returning when our day of skiing is done. Let me know if you are interested. Bill

Monday January 15th is a holiday:  let's hike in Bandelier National Monument to the Stone Lions.  We will do this hike as a one-way hike - starting at Ponderosa Campground and finishing at the Visitor's Center.  It is 13 miles and 2500' - 3000' in elevation gain - so, it is a strenuous, all-day hike.  

We will meet at Sullivan Field at 7 am to carpool.  We will need at least 2 cars, so please come prepared to drive.  We will drive to the Bandelier Visitor's Center, drop a car, and then drive to Ponderosa Campground to start hiking.  If you have Nat'l Park pass, please bring it.

Although the snow is very sparse around Los Alamos, hope springs eternal, and I trust that southern Colorado will have reasonable snow cover by mid-January. I propose to head north to take advantage of that snow. Even now, there is something there (19” base at Monarch Ski Area) vs. what you can see in the hills around Los Alamos.  As we have done in past years, we will head for Salida to establish a base in a comfortable house or cabin, and spend our days in winter sports in the Monarch Pass area.

Let's hike the Ancho Canyon to Blue Dot trail along the Rio Grande River trail - it is a beautiful local winter-time hike.  

It is a 9.5 mile hike, with 1300' descent near the beginning of the hike and 1000' ascent at the end of the hike.  We'll stop to see Ancho Rapid, and then hike the River trail north, past the Red Dot Trail to the Blue Dot trail.
