Join us for an easy after-work walk/hike to the nearby natural arch.
Besides the photo-op at the arch itself, this gives a nice view of Los Alamos and surrounding area, and shows the consequences of the 2000 fire and the ensuing recovery and changes.

I am proposing a 4 day backpack, to start/end at the Williams Creek Reservoir, north of Pagosa Springs, Colorado.   I will have to do a scouting trip, ahead of time - to make sure the trails are open - but, the area is south from last year's forest fires.  In the event that the scouting trip is not successful - we will switch the hike location - most probably to the South San Juan Wilderness Area, out of Platoro, Colorado.

Santa Barbara Canyon, south of Penasco, NM, has a beautiful series of beaver dams about 7 miles up canyon from the Santa Barbara campground, in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The trail is well graded through a beautiful mountain valley, and rises about 1000 ft to get to the beaver dams.

Let's celebrate the summer solstice with a hike up Santa Fe Baldy!  Wonderful views across northern New Mexico from the summit at 12,600 ft.
It is a 14 mile round trip, with 3600 ft elevation gain.  It will be about an 8 hour hike.
We will meet in Los Alamos at 6:50 am to carpool and leave at 7:00 am.  We will be hiking at about 8:30 am.  SF/ABQ folks - we'll meet you in SF at the DeVargas Mall or at the SF Ski Basin (we will work out these details when you sign up).  (if there is a strong chance of thunderstorms that day, we will leave 30 minutes earlier)

We will continue our series of fun trips for Climbing School graduates with an overnight trip to Penitente Canyon in the Alamosa Valley, Colorado.  This area is known for hard climbs, but also has a nice selection of easy and moderate one-pitch bolt routes. Penitente also provides some opportunities to do easy leads in the 5.6 to 5.8 range.

We will continue our series of fun trips for Climbing School graduates from this year or other recent years with a one-day outing to Tres Piedras, located about 90 minutes north of Los Alamos.  Tres Piedras has low-angle slab and friction climbing on beautiful granite knobs and slopers, mostly bolt-protected with some gear placements.  We will set top rope climbs in the 5.7 to 5.10 range.  Leading opportunities are more limited, starting with 5.8 trad or 5.9 bolt routes.
