While there is still snow, let's snowshoe up Pajarito Mountain on Halloween morning.  The purpose is to get out your gear and get ready for winter.

Meet at the Lodge at Pajarito Mountain at 9 am on Halloween morning.  If we have more than 5 people, we will break into smaller groups and select different routes up the mountain.  Please bring your face mask and we will practice social distancing.
