Manzano Open Space - Night

Another night hike is on the schedule, and we’re heading out to the Manzano Northern Loop.
This is a 1.2-mile loop with about 137 feet of elevation gain. It’s generally considered an easy route and usually takes around 30 minutes to complete, but we’ll take our time and enjoy it as a group. The trail is great for hiking, running, and walking, and it’s typically pretty quiet, especially in the evening.
We’ll be hiking in the dark, so headlamps or flashlights are required. There is very little light out there once the sun goes down.
Important reminders:
Headlamp or flashlight is a must
Dress in layers since it will cool off in the evening
Bring water and snacks
Dogs are welcome but must be on a leash
Hiking boots recommended
Watch your footing since visibility will be limited
This is a nice, short loop with just enough elevation to keep things interesting, and it’s a great option for a relaxed night hike.
See you on the trails.
