Santa Fe Sierra Club Outings

We've been doing this hike on Superbowl Sunday for a few years now.

How about a relatively easy 5 mile out-and-back walk on the Spur trail with wide-open views? About 300 ft. of elevation gain. Burn some of those game-time calories? Once we intersect the Rail Trail we'll continue about 1/2 mi. south to search for a geocache.

Meet at 11 am at the trailhead which is located in the parking lot across the street from the bus stop at the Santa Fe Community College. Turn into the parking lot directly across the road from the bus stop. Check the map and the "how to find us" in the outing announcement.
A brisk walk will return us to the trailhead in about 2 1/2 hrs.

This will be about a 4 mile cross-country ski tour on trails in the Jemez area near the Valles Caldera National Preserve. Exact location will depend on snow conditions. Options include the mellow terrain along the Guaje Canyon trail along Canada Bonita out to a viewpoint into the Valles Caldera National Preserve, following the roads within the VCNP, the Upper Frijoles Overlook trail, and the Los Griegos area.
You will need minimal skill on your skis so you can control your speed on the downhill sections. Also skis with a climbing or grip pattern or climbing wax.
Typical meeting spot in Santa Fe is the parking lot behind Marketplace supermarket on the north end of Santa Fe.

The drive to the start of our skiing is between 40 and 50 miles.
