I have never been to this classic piece of the northern New Mexico landscape, so let's go. This is an 8 mile loop and thousand foot climb per https://www.alltrails.com/ar/trail/us/new-mexico/canjilon-lakes-loop. More detail can be found on the Forest Service here. The Forest Service says "This is definitely high country hiking! Many scenic vistas and streams are along the trail.

Several of us are planning a Colorado Fourteener trip for August 9-11, and we would like to invite other Club members to join us.  We are planning to drive from the highway between Saguache and Gunnison to the Stewart Creek trailhead on Friday morning, August 9, and backpack up the Stewart Creek trail to timberline that afternoon.  From that high camp, we can easily access one Fourteener (San Luis) and one high Thirteener (Stewart).  Like last year’s trip to Missouri Gulch, this will be a relaxed weekend, with an opportunity for Club members to bag one or two Centennial

The 16th Annual Rubber Ducky Float Trip

Join Zack for a Rio Grande floating adventure. We will start at 8am on Saturday July 27 at the Red Dot trailhead, hike down to the river, continue up the river trail to the bottom of the Blue Dot. There, we will stop and enjoy lunch and inflate our floating toys/mattresses/water wings. We will then float back down to the Red Dot, wash off in the clean springs, and hike back to our cars.  It's about 4 miles, plus the up and down elevation gain of the Red Dot trail.
