Obsidian Ridge

Approach by driving west from Los Alamos using NM 501 to NM 4 to FR 289 to FR 287.

Hike 2-3 miles to a narrowing of the ridge, following a downhill section.  Obsidian flakes litter the path.  Large rocks are not found on the path, but can be found by foraging off-path.  We met a young man who is mining the area for his knapping projects, returning every few weeks, so stocks of large rocks will dwindle.
