I’d passed the10K trailhead a bazillion times before on the way to Sandia Crest. I’d always assumed the 10K meant it was a 10 kilometer trail, but only recently did it dawn on me that it because it starts at 10,000 feet.
Doy!

I’m a glutton for punishment, I guess.
After Friday’s outing to Bandelier National Monument, followed by a morning-long outing to the ABQ BioPark and Old Town, I decided to push my aching legs on a near-6 mile hike.

I didn’t really have much of a plan today, aside from going to the zoo, but it turned out to be quite an eventful day.

Scrolling through Instagram last week, a page I follow, Edible New Mexico, showcased Laura Crucet, owner and Executive Chef at Pig + Fig Cafe in the town of White Rock. Not wanting to drive an hour and a half just for lunch, I looked at what I could do nearby. That’s when I saw how close the Cafe is to Bandelier National Monument.

Ash spent the night at the sitter’s Saturday night, so Sunday, when I woke up bright and early, I decided I’d take an early morning hike in the Sandias.

Jarrod’s birthday is in July, he’s as big a Dodgers fan as I am, and they just happened to be playing the Colorado Rockies the weekend after his birthday. I figured that would be a perfect birthday gift.

For the second holiday in a row (after Father’s Day), I decided to take a Sunday morning hike. I woke up early, pulled up AllTrails and looked for something where I could stretch my personal bests a little bit.
While I did set personal bests in distance, elevation gain and time on trail, I almost killed Ash and myself in the process.

While camping in Carson National Forest, I decided to take a hike into the Columbine-Hondo Wilderness on the Columbine Trail. Read on for the full experience.
