This helps us to stay together as a group, enhancing the hiking experience for everyone. It is not about competition, but cooperation. COVID vaccination and compliance with CDC rules on quarantine and isolation are required (i.e., don't attend if you have Covid!). This is a group event and participants are expected to stay with the group. No firearms or commercial solicitations.
Hike Description: Rick will lead this event in the Jemez. We will do 2 hikes. The first will be a 3 mile out and back hike along the East Jemez River starting in the Valles Caldera through a lush canyon. We will then drive up FR 10 until the road gets bad and hike 0.3 miles to the dramatic Monument Canyon tent rock overlook.
What to bring:
Sturdy hiking boots or shoes.
Layers, extra clothing, and water resistant outer wear.
Water for a 3+ hour hike.

Please be considerate to folks on the wait list and remove yourself from the 'go' list promptly once you know you won't attend. If you have difficulty doing that, contact me and I'll change your status.
