About us
This group exists to foster community and friendships with like-minded individuals who enjoy both outdoor adventures and social experiences in NM. Whether you're drawn to hiking, backpacking, and sports - or prefer more relaxed activities, such as game nights, dinners, movies, and local events - you'll find welcoming company here!
The majority of our events focus on hiking, ranging from easy weekly sunset hikes to challenging treks, along with the occasional backpacking excursion. Each hiking event states its difficulty level (easy, moderate, or hard). Our event hosts are not certified guides however, so you're expected to hold your own.
If you're looking for a relaxing way to make friends, build community, and get out in nature we recommend joining our weekly social sunset hiking series! This beginner friendly trail has frequent breaks, sunset viewing, and an optional tavern hangout afterwards.
Beyond the trails, we also host many exciting social events - from movies to game nights, sports in the park, dinners, local festivals, Spanish practice, and more - so everyone has opportunities to connect in the ways they most enjoy!
Be sure to ask an event host about our active Discord server (with hundreds of members) when attending an event, so you can plan and attend get togethers outside of Meetup and deepen friendships.
We hope to see you soon!

San Ysidro Trials Area [INTERMEDIATE]
Home Depot, Rio Rancho, NM, USCome explore one of my favorite short little canyons in the San Ysidro Trails Area! I'm hoping that the rain we've gotten recently will have filled the canyon up with water. Although the canyons has lots of escapes, we go straight down the middle of the canyon, so expect mud, water, downclimbs, and swimming. Come prepared to get wet and dirty. Overall mileage is pretty short - maybe 3-4 miles. While you can make this canyon a loop, I think we'll do an out-and-back, so we can stay in the cool water instead of cook in the sun.
Bring a change of clothes and towel and a personal drybag for gear you want to stay dry.
Please use discretion if you want to bring your dog. I will likely bring mine, but it will depend on the temps for the day - if it will be too hot, I will leave her at home. If you choose to bring your dog they should have experience with scrambling and swimming. There is one spot where most dogs will need a lift down/up. Do not bring your dog if you cannot lift your dog. The hike into the canyon is hot and exposed. Make sure to take care for your dog's paws and bring enough water for them.
We'll meet at the Home Depot off of 550 and carpool from there. It's a 23 minute drive from there to the trailhead. The trailhead is right off of 550. Let me know if you'll be meeting us at the trailhead instead of carpooling, so we don't wait for you at Home Depot, but do wait for you at the trailhead.
