Domingo Baca – Old La Luz

The plan for this hike is to ascend to the La Luz-Tramway cutoff trail via the Domingo Baca trail. From there, we will descend to bottom of the La Luz trail via the Old La Luz trail — optional side trip to the top of the Sandia Peak Tram depending on how the group feels.

This is a slightly different hike than most of our hikes in that not all of the trails on this route are well groomed or clearly marked. Sections of Domingo Baca trail past the TWA crash site are quite steep with loose rock and are not always well delineated, and certain sections of the Old La Luz trail are similarly steep and technical. Trekking poles are recommended.

Note: Because this is a challenging hike, all reservations to this hike will be initially waitlisted. Feel free to message me after RSVPing so that I can move you to the "going" list. Thanks!

Note: This hike also has different start and finish locations. We can coordinate dropping off cars to shuttle back to starting point or share a Lyft/Uber ride.
