Join Clarissa and Ann for a weekend trip camping in the NM Bisti Badlands. We plan to depart Los Alamos Saturday morning drive to set up camp the night and return Sunday morning. From the base camp we will explore the area with various hikes tailored to the group. The weekend chosen is just following a full moon so the hoodoos in the moonlight should be magical too. You will need your own camping gear and food.
This will be the last ski hill potluck hike of the season. Patti Walls will be leading the hike. Please make sure to RSVP to Patti and send her your contact information. The hike will begin at 5 PM from the ski hill parking lot.

I'm proposing a day hike to Trampas Lakes this coming Saturday, 9/28. It's short notice I realize, but I've never been there, heard it was nice, and would welcome some company. Let's plan to leave Sullivan Field parking lot about 7:15am to get an early start on the trail around 9am, which should get us to the lake around noon for lunch (bring your own), and then back down the trail with a return to LA before 5pm. The hike is roughly a dozen miles round trip and 2500 feet of elevation gain.
