About us
Mountain Cathedrals is a group for people who would like to encounter God and build community in our sacred outdoor wilderness spaces. As we join together for monthly day hikes on the third Saturday of each month, we will build elements of worship (scripture, prayer, and Holy Communion) into the hiking experience, allowing our ancient Christian traditions and our current hiking and outdoor spaces to work together to point to the presence of God among us.
Mountain Cathedrals is a ministry of St. John's United Methodist Church, and hikes will be led by a United Methodist clergyperson. We are, however, committed to building community and connections across denominational lines, and as such, we are open and sensitive to the faith traditions and backgrounds of all participants.
Mountain Cathedrals is a re-birth of the former Worship in the Wilderness meetup.

Mountain Cathedrals Hike - Tunnel Canyon Trail
St. John's United Methodist Church (meet in east parking lot to carpool to trailhead), 2626 Arizona NE, Albuquerque, NM, USPlease join us at 8:30 AM in the St. Johns East Parking Lot to carpool to the Tunnel Canyon Trailhead, or at the trailhead (2.6 miles south of Tijeras) at 9:00 (please let me know you're coming!). This is a classic Manzanitas loop in the pinons and limestone with long views (4.5 miles, 700 ft of climb and some rocky trail, so moderate difficulty). Plan to be back at St. John's by 2:00. Bring lunch, water, sun protection.
In this season of Epiphany, we focus on welcoming Christ into our own lives. What better way than in God's wilderness?
