Run to Ullrfest

Moderate

Join Zack for a run from the Mitchell Trailhead to Pajarito Ski Hill via Guaje Ridge to celebrate Ullrfest. 
 
 What: 8 mile one-way from the Michell trail to the Ski Hill.  Return to Sullivan field via free county bus. 
When: Sept 29.  Meet at the trailhead at 11am to get to the party by 1ish.
How: Running. With enough people, different pace groups will form and people can go at their own pace. There is a party on the deck after, so if any particular person is slower it won't be a problem.
 

Moderate hike to the Ullrfest

Counterpoint to running to the hill, how about a moderate walk/hike instead.  Join Lisa and Kei 9:00 a.m. Saturday September 29 at the Sullivan Field parking lot.  From there it's a walk through the western area, then up Quemazon trail to Guaje Ridge.  Greet the hard-core as they stagger past us near the end (they're starting at 11:00am).  Should take FOUR [corrected from email] hours more or less.  Stay for the Ullrfest or not (I think the beer starts flowing at noon and the live music starts at 1:00pm), catch a bus back to Sullivan Field.

Trampas Lakes, NM Overnight Sept. 22-23

This overnight hike is my favorite hike in New Mexico.  It is close by, just East of Espanola.  The trail head is at 9,000 feet with a wooded trail up to three pretty lakes at 11,400 feet surrounded by towering Truchas peaks.  The trail is six miles in and is never terribly steep despite the significant elevation gain. We will hike in on Saturday, spend one night around the lakes, and come out on Sunday.
I hope that you will join me for this beautiful short outing.

Urban brunch hike (catered)

We’ve had urban brunch hikes before, but this one has a twist. We will finish the hike at the Co-op, who will be waiting for us with a catered brunch (not a potluck like before – no muss, no fuss). We will meet at the Larry Walkup pool parking lot at 8:00 AM on Saturday morning. After shuttling some cars to the Co-op, we will start the hike, taking the Ranch School Trail down to the Pueblo Canyon Trail, then following the canyon until the Tent Rocks Trail splits off to the south.

It seems that June is a bit crowded and there are some folks who would like to do this trip, but can't do it on June 16. My summer weekends are a bit packed, so I've decided to move this to late summer when it will be a bit cooler than July or August and we should be past the Monsoon Season.
 

Santa Fe Baldy Run

Join Zack for an exploratory test of a new type of mountaineer's trip, the Blitzwanderung, or "lightning hike."    Have you always felt that hiking was great, that all the scenery was quite lovely, but that it could be improved if the trees were kind of blurry and the scenery changed faster?    Well, here is the solution for you.  Following the German tradition, the Blitzwanderung attacks the mountain with a vengance. 
 
What:  14 mile round trip from the Santa Fe Ski Basin to Santa Fe Baldy

Jan, Mary, my son, and I are going to try out the new ziplining setup at Angel Fire. We've made a reservation for the 11 AM slot on Saturday, August 18, and would like to invite other Mountaineers to join us. There are four remaining vacancies in the 11 AM tour, and we have not done anything to hold them, so please sign up soon if you would like to join us. Details of the Angel Fire setup can be found here.
