Mountain Cathedrals Hike - El Malpais, Zuni-Acoma Trail

Where ever you go, there you are. On this cairn-to-cairn hike, that saying is especially true because we will have to keep reconnoitering our next steps. Perhaps the ragged landscape around us will also let us progress on our inner journeys and perceive something new of God’s plans for us.
Logistics: Meet at the St. John's UMC (Albuquerque) east parking lot at 8:00 a.m., or at the trailhead (Acoma Zuni East Trailhead – contact organizer for details) at 9:30. Plan to be back at the parking area by 3:00 and St. John's by 4:30. The hike is moderate (out-and-back, about 5 miles round trip), but it includes some rough footing. We will be walking directly across the McCarty's lava flow. Bring good hiking footwear, sun protection, lunch, water, a parka, trekking poles (recommended), and enthusiasm!
Please join us for this hike of meditation, wilderness, and time apart from our normal schedules.
Organizer: Mike Furnish, CLM, 505-440-7292; [mdfurnish@comcast.net](http://mailto:mdfurnish@comcast.net/)). Please RSVP, especially if meeting us at the trailhead. There is no cost other than sharing gas for carpooling.

Save the date: The next Mountain Cathedrals hike will be December 13 (location TBD - please send suggestions!).
