Hi everyone,
I would like to get a group together to hike the entire Sandia Crest
trail. I believe its 26 miles and I'm not sure the elevation gain,
I'm guessing 4000-5000 feet. You start around Hwy 40 and Hwy 14 and
end up in Placitas. Kim and I are planning on doing this Sat,
November 5th. Start at dawn and finish when we finish.
I can't stress enough, if you plan to do this BE PREPARED!!! Bring
plenty of food and water. The only place to refresh your water supply
will be at the tram about 2/3 of the way thru the hike. Also bring
headlamps I'm not sure if it will be dark when we finish.
Using the rating system, this hikes rates at a 35 (black diamond =
Strenuous/difficult) For reference the La Luz rates at a 21.
that all for now.
