This will be an easy 6 mile hike with a snack/lunch break midway. The terrain will be rolling, with some ups and downs, but nothing too ambitious. We'll meet at Albertson's on Zia and St. Francis at 10 and carpool to the trailhead. Please offer your drivers $2-3. to help with gas. Please carry appropriate clothing layers for the day's forecast. Also bring adequate water and snacks for the outing. Please note, we are not allowing dogs on this hike.
