   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 plug's defenses.  Said mountaineer must be able to execute a couple of fourth class maneuvers in pursuit of the summit.

Let's head out Saturday morning to hike around the Ojito Wilderness Study Area, in the vicinity of San Ysidro. Per the writeup at https://www.americansouthwest.net/new_mexico/ojito/wilderness-area.html, "features beautiful eroded rock formations including hoodoos, caprocks, cliffs and solidified dunes." This will be a free-form explore, leaving Los Alamos at 8 AM for the approximately 2 hour drive from Los Alamos. We will head through the Jemez.

This will be an explore on the slickrock above Ghost Ranch, or perhaps somewhere in the vicinity - haven't figured out an exact location. Mostly a hike, but may involve some traversing low-angle rock and a rope assist for anyone who feels more comfortable that way. Expect to be out for most of the day; bring lunch, water, and gear for both sun and cold. We'll leave Los Alamos at 9 AM; we'll plan out more details as the trip comes together.

Enough of 2020 already! Let's welcome the New Year with a day on the snow New Year's day. The plan is to head up to Cumbres Pass and ski or snow shoe one of a variety of routes that start up FR 116 toward the Neff Mountain Yurt. We will plan to depart the LANB parking lot at 08:00. White Rock participants can meet at the Y parking area at 08:15, and participants from the valley or Santa Fe can meet at the Northern New Mexico campus at 08:30. Presuming we will be doing a final meet up at Northern, we will hold a quick brief there before pushing on up the road.
