This will be the first Ski Hill hike of the 2025 season.  The day of the week has changed due to County road construction that requires closing the access road to Camp May from Sunday evening until Friday afternoon for this summer season and into the fall months.

Please RSVP via text message to my cell phone if you plan to attend.  This hike is an elevation gain of about 900 feet.  Please bring a food item to share with the other participants, your own plate, utensils, and beverage of your choice.

This is a day hike along a section of the Continental Divide Trail. We will leave Los Alamos at 8 AM on Memorial Day (Monday May 26), drive past Abiquiu and Ghost Ranch to the Monastary road, and park at Skull Bridge. From there we will hike westward on the Continental Divide trail, under the cliffs of the Abiquiu red rock country. This will be an out and back hike, aiming at 6-8 miles total. If the weather gets too hot for this route, we will divert a day or two before to an alternative route at higher elevation, perhaps in the Jemez.

Dear Mountaineers,

Llama trip plans for spring 2025 have been in flux, but a plan is starting to gel. Llama packer BJ and I have agreed to dates for a drop camp, although we are still thinking about destination. The previously announced April llama trek may still go, but directly with BJ, not as a Mountaineers trip. I will take part in this trip, not the llama trek.

Canyoneering season is here.  Perhaps you need some skills practice.  Evan Rose and John Davey will set up some anchors at the White Rock Y (just east of the junction of NM4 and NM502).  This area offers short drops and easy walk-ups back to the top of the ropes.

   This is the fifth annual spring climb to iconic Cabezon Peak.

   Cabezon Peak towers 2000 feet above the Rio Puerco Valley. This volcanic plug is the remnant of the core of a volcano - like Shiprock. Appearing impregnable, Cabezon can nonetheless be ascended by the intrepid mountaineer who follows the hidden route that wends its way through a crack in the peak's defenses. Said mountaineer must be able to execute a couple of low fourth class maneuvers in pursuit of the summit and its spectacular views.
