Jack Loeffler, a bioregional aural historian, will talk about the author and environmental advocate Edward Abbey and his legacy at 5:30 p.m. April 22 at the Bradbury Science Museum. The talk is the fourth in a series of evening lectures planned this year at the museum, and is free and open to the public.
Many of the Mountaineers are quite into Abbey, so I thought it might be relevant to the membership. See you there!
Join Zack and friends on the annual run to Santa Fe. We'll start at the Blue Dot trail, running down the trail then up to Buckman road. We'll zip lock anything you are fond of, put shoes in garbage bag, and swim across the Rio Grande, then continue up Buckman road to the railyard/REI for lunch. It's about 20 miles. The water will be very cold, the road will be very hot. You'll mostly be responsible for your own ride back, but there may be some carpool space. Email me at zackbaker@gmail.com.
Hi all - it was too windy, with blowing dust last weekend, so we rescheduled!
This 6 mile hike is #42 in the Sierra Club book on Day Hikes in the Santa Fe area.
The Ojito Wilderness was established in 2005 and is just west of San Ysidro. The area has beatiful high desert scenery with views of Cabezon and the Red Mesa cliffs.
Still haven't made it to the highest point in New Mexico? Join us for a
hike to Wheeler Peak!
The Williams Lake trail to the summit is approximately 7 miles round
trip and is a steep switchback class 2 trail. Total elevation gain of 2,970
ft; highest elevation 13,161 ft. Moderate pace. We expect to start out on
snowshoes, and will finish the peak hiking (with microspikes/yak-traks).
Limit of 12 hikers. One or two dogs ok, must have leash.

This is an off-trail hike, estimated to take 6 hours to complete. There is no trail - it is a cross country hike over rough terrain. The guidebook provides 20 waypoints for the round trip hike. I'll send out the waypoints prior to the hike, so that participants can load them into their GPS ahead of time.
Who's up for a quick trip to Wolf Creek this weekend? Drive up Friday leaving Los Alamos late afternoon, stay at a motel and hit the hot springs, ski on Saturday and drive back home. What's not to like about a 110" base? Colorado has all of our snow, so let's go make us of it. If interested, contact Bill at bill@priedhorsky.net.
