Chamisa Loop hike before Breakfast Hike Shorter version

This challenging hike will surely get the heart pumping along the uphill sections of this loop. The trail is well-maintained and convenient to the downtown Santa Fe area. The path winds through a beautiful ponderosa pine forest and provides ample shade. Depending on the season, hikers can admire vibrant wildflowers that line the trail. Sturdy hiking shoes are recommended to navigate the terrain comfortably. We will not be going to the river we will be doing the loop. see map. Unless, there are people who want to go to the river; that would add about 1 hour to the hike. see map in photo section. this would be the part of the trail I have crossed out in blue. It is very pretty down to the river but we have to come back up. so those needing to be done by 8am will do the loop only, see map.

please bring poles if you need them, wear good hiking boots/shoes, water, sunscreen, sunglasses and hat if needed.

please answer yes to liability question to go.
