This hike is in the valley, near Hernandez north of Espanola. The drive will be about 40 minutes each way. I estimate the length of the hike as 10-12 miles. Some scrambling and bushwhacking could be involved. I have never been to this location, so be prepared for some uncertainty along the way. Some interesting geological features (dikes) are expected.

Let's plan to leave town at 10:00 AM. Email or call for details. r.mccrady@comcast.net

Do you want to spend time outside on Black Friday instead of in stores? REI's #OptOutside campaign inspired us to provide this guided hike to help you enjoy the outdoors. Opt to spend the day outside, enjoying nature, rather than fighting the crowds or staring at a screen.

The location for this hike will be determined at a later date, once we know the snow situation and trail conditions. Plan on a moderately difficult hike that will take about 4 hours. The group will stop around noon to enjoy lunch on the trail.

Let's start the day with a little hike right here in town. I expect the hike to take about an hour and a half, and will take a route through a shallow canyon without an established trail.

We'll begin at 8:00 on Thansgiving day.

We have an extra bedroom in a house we rented in Pagosa, and are looking for someone who would like to join in on some Wolf Creek skiing. Decent base up there, and as they say,they have the best snow in Colorado. We will drive up to Pagosa Thursday afternoon/evening after turkey, ski Friday and Saturday at Wolf Creek, and drive home after Saturday's skiing. The cost for a bedroom for the two nights is about $150. The house can be seen at https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/18785650. Let me know as soon as you can if you would like to join us.

In a revival of an old tradition, I'd like spend a hiking weekend based in Bluff, Utah, which is the closest corner of the canyon country, just 5 1/2 hours drive from Los Alamos. Going in late October, we should have fine, cool weather, perfect for exploring the slick rock and ruins in the vicinity of Bluff, farther afield in the canyons that carve into Comb Ridge, in the canyons that drain Cedar Mesa, and in White Canyon and its tributaries. We spend many winter long weekends in the vicinity, but haven't been back since 2009.

Join Zack and Dan Creveling on Sunday, Oct 21 for a morning jaunt from the Bandelier Visitor Center along the Burro Trail to the river and back.  This is a mapping and scouting expedition, but we'll see some nice fall colors and have a nice time as we hike somewhere around 12 miles.   We'll meet at 9am.
