Hike at Trailhead #4 in Eldorado Preserve
Details
Carpool info: We can CarPool at Albertson's Market at SE corner of West Zia Rd & St. Francis Dr. Park under the BIG sign closest to the intersection.
((( info only for drivers or if going separately: We'll then drive North on I-25, and get OFF at the 285 exit. BUT at Rt 285, turn left(!) going North. At the blinking light, turn RIGHT onto Old Las Vegas Highway toward Glorieta to the underpass under I-25 at Route NM-51 continue on 51, over the bridge across the Galisteo Creek, up the curvy hill to Trailhead #4.
Here there are 3 loop trails and 2 out-n-back trails.
Distance: 2.7 mi. range: 7120' to 7325' gross: about 200-300 gain';
For folks in Eldorado or S. of town, OK to meet at TH #4, BUT let us carpoolers know so we don't wait around :-)
The weather forecast for Saturday is: Sunny, with a high near 65.
What to bring:
Sturdy hiking boots or shoes.
Bring layers, extra clothing, and water resistant outer wear.
Water for a 2+ hour hike, (a liter +).
Lunch or snacks (in case we/you get hungry or stuck, etc.)
Dogs: probably are OK here.
