Jicarita Peak is just a hundred feet shy of being a thirteener. To reach the summit, we will hike 5.5 miles with a gain of 2600 ft. This will be an out-and-back trip, 11 miles total. Alpine flowers should be at their peak, and bighorn sheep are not an unusual sighting in this corner of the Pecos Wilderness. Driving time to the trailhead is two hours, from either Los Alamos or Santa Fe. The last 4.5 miles are on rough but passable unpaved road.

Leave Los Alamos at 9 AM.

Easy pace: mile 3 is a long uphill on somewhat rugged double track: walking parts of it is ok.

Bring water and a snack.

Under 16 year old must be accompanied by an adult.

 SORRY - This trip is now full.

   This is the fourth annual spring climb to iconic Cabezon Peak.

   Cabezon Peak towers 2000 feet above the Rio Puerco Valley.  This volcanic plug is the remnant of the core of a volcano - like Shiprock.  Appearing impregnable, Cabezon can nonetheless be ascended by the intrepid mountaineer who follows the hidden route that wends its way through a crack in the peak's defenses.  Said mountaineer must be able to execute a couple of low fourth class maneuvers in pursuit of the summit and its spectacular views.

I would like to propose a May 2024 canyon trip to the Ticaboo Canyon system in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. This adventure will take us to a complex canyon system with water enough for camping, and make possible a series of day hikes to slickrock tops and side canyons. We will camp somewhere in the canyon system. All the hiking will be off trail, and sometimes involves scrambling over rock ledges and ridges, or wading through creeks.
