Sun, Jun 28 · 8:30 AM MDT
Smiths Grocery Store, 200 Tramway SE, Tramway and Central, Albuquerque, NM, US
The trail starts at the end of Cienega Canyon Picnic Ground.

We will hike up the trail until we reach the intersection with the Crest Trail. We will stop to enjoy the view and have a snack/lunch and return back on the same trail.

Be prepared for steep sections and rocky terrain. We will keep a moderate pace with some stops to catch our breath.

We will meet at the Southwest corner of Smiths Parking lot on Tramway and Central at 8.30AM and carpool to the trailhead. Please be on time as we will leave by 8.35AM.
If you live on the east side and want to meet us at the trailhead, be there a little before 9AM (and indicate in the comments that you will meet us there so that we are not waiting for you). There is a $5 parking free at the trailhead.
