Hi all -

There is 5' plus at Cumbres Pass - let's go X-C!

I'd like to do the Spruce Hole trip again - with an addition. The basic route is an 8 mile out/back ski tour - with fabulous views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains from SF Baldy to the Crestones from the top of Pinerealosa Peak. There is opportunity for long kick/glide skiing on top of Pinerealosa Peak, and/or a couple of hills for tele turns. It can be helpful to have climbing skins, to ski up Pinerealosa, but not required.

Let's go skiing at Cumbres Pass!  
It will be an 8 mile round trip ski;  I am thinking of Dixie Creek or Spruce Hole.
Bring your backcountry touring gear, skins if available, radios, warm clothes, lunch, water.
We'll leave Los Alamos at 7 am, be back around 6 pm.
Send me an email if you can come, and we'll arrange for meeting/carpooling.  jdewart@q.com

(Note 11/25/14: This trip was announced at the Nov. 19th Mountaineers meeting the old-fashioned way, by announcement to those who were there, and the Moab Retreat House is filling quickly. There remain various options in the house, including a nice bedroom that is available Saturday-Wednesday, one of the family rooms, the infamous Murphy bed, etc.)

Bandelier Exploration

Let's take a hike in Bandelier's backcountry, to see some lovely ruins and petroglyphs.
(The trip will be a hard hike if you are in moderate shape and it will be a moderate hike if you are in good shape)
This is a 14 mile round trip hike, of which about 1/2 will be on regular maintained trails.  The other half will include some following of cairned trails, and some bushwacking and route finding, in part due to the great crop of grasses and weeds we have from the summer rains.  I expect this to take 8 hours round trip, possibly 9 hours, due to the route finding needed.

This trip is a bicycle ride on paved roads from Jemez Springs to the Gilman Tunnels and back.  The Gilman tunnels are located in the most scenic section of the Guadalupe River Box.  These tunnels were originally blasted out of the rock in the 1920's for a logging railroad.

As my friends know, I cannot get enough of the canyon country, and am planning our fall trip even though our spring trip is a still couple of months away. This will be a mid-October expedition, the finest time of the year, to the junction of Silver Falls Canyon and the Escalante River in Grand Staircase/Escalante National Monument, supported by our favorite llama packer, BJ Orozco of Llama 2 Boot. This is the same destination as a wonderful trip that we took in the fall of 2002.

I am very sorry to say that I am cancelling our Ute Mountain trip due to a foot injury that I suffered last Thursday.  It appears to be healing nicely, but I feel that Ute Mountain would be too much for me as I have been cautiously hiking everyday since the accident to allow an accurate judgement.
Today Sept 29, 2015 was Judgement Day!
