We have many times travelled to Bluff, Utah for a taste of the canyon country. Bluff is less than six hours from Los Alamos and, situated along the San Juan River, at a low altitude best suited for trips late or early in the season. Even in early December the average daily high is around 50 F. There are numerous places to hike and explore from Bluff, including the ruins and big views of Comb Ridge, the canyons accessible from Cedar Mesa, the canyon rim just north of Bluff itself, and farther afield to places like White Canyon.

The Los Alamos Mountaineers will host the annual Potpourri at Fuller Lodge, with doors opening at 6:00 PM on Wednesday, December 10, 2025. Potpourri is a stew that consists of one part potluck and six parts ten-minute talks, simmered slowly in conversation and camaraderie.
Update as of Monday, Nov. 24: Because of a prediction of unpleasant weather on Sunday, I am moving this trip up by one day. We will hike on Saturday Nov. 29, rather than the originally announced Sunday date. BP
Come enjoy some outdoor time on black friday/aka: opt-outside day for us hikers and work off all the turkey!
We will hike Burnt Mesa Trail in Bandelier, with a side spur to visit the eagle traps. It will be a 5.5-6 mile out and back, with ~650 ft elevation gain. Appropriate sun protection and water are needed for the trip.
There is not a lot of parking at the trailhead, so for those coming from Los Alamos, we will meet at Sullivan field at 9:10 am in order to carpool. We will meet at the trailhead at 9:30 am.
I would like to announce the seventeenth edition of our successful hike/explore/bike trips to Moab. We have been going almost every November since 2008, and every time has been a great success. The 2014 trip report can be found at http://lamountaineers.org/node/479#comment-57. Let me (Bill Priedhorsky) know if you would like to join the trip.
Petroglyphs, ruins, natural arches and a slot canyon. 8-miles, out-and-back, along an arroyo.
This is a remote hike in the Chamisa Wilderness Study Area, southwest of Cabezon Peak. The drive from Los Alamos to the trailhead takes approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes. The last hour is on a well maintained, mostly flat dirt road.
The weather forecast looks great for this weekend, so let's get out for another climbing outing! Potrillo Cliffs offers a range of technical climbs, from 5.6 to 5.12. Top rope or trad. Please bring your own gear: rope, anchor-building equipment, harness, shoes, helmet, belay device, etc.

Are you ready for a nice, long day hike in beautiful meadows through Oat and Hay Canyons in the Jemez Mountains?
Join Sylvie Adam with PEEC and the Los Alamos Mountaineers for this fall hike along Rio Cebolla. Participants will meet at Los Alamos Nature Center at 8 AM and arrange a carpool. The hike is out-and-back, approximately 10.5 miles round trip. The group will begin at the Seven Springs Campground, just past the Seven Springs Hatchery, about 75 minutes drive from Los Alamos.
Please join Toni, Gwendolyn and other local climbers for a fun and safe day of outdoor climbing at one of White Rock's local crags. We especially encourage new LAM climbing school graduates to come out and refresh/relearn your newly acquired skills. Please bring your own gear, but contact me if you don't own a rope, anchor-building gear, and/or quick-draws (or trad gear). And, if you don't prefer to lead a lead a route, please don't feel intimidated - there will be climbers there who can/will lead and set up routes as topropes for you to climb.
