Hawk Watch Trail, Sandia Mountains, NM, Revisted, 4/8/18

This was not the best of weekends for us.  It started out great:  Drove to Espanola on Friday to meet friends for a guided tour of the Sikh Ashram and then strolled around a couple of slot canyons in Plaza Blanca. As we returned to our cars to drive to Ghost Ranch for a hiking weekend, my car would not start. It was almost 6 pm. No luck! The car could not be jump started and had to be towed all the way back the Albuquerque, close to an 120-mile trip.

So today, Sunday, we are on the trail. Instead of hiking one of the beautiful Ghost Ranch trails and spending time with friends, we revisited an old favorite. Hawk Watch International used to count hawks on their spring migratory trek from this location.  Now, only the occasional hiker makes the trek to the saddle.


Distance: ~ 4 miles, elevation: ~1600 ft.
