La Luz Trail, Sandia Mountains, NM, 8/10/16

View towards the east with Mount Taylor in the middle.  Looks like Mountain Taylor is snow capped in August! But, no.  Just a cloud hanging right over the mountain :)

We decided to join the NM Mountain Club on a Wednesday hike.  Since rain was threatening,  Joe Walker, the leader, decided to hike up La Luz and turn back if we found ourselves in a downpour.  Hiked up about 2 hours, had lunch and turned back.  It was a fun hike as both Jim and I remembered some of the people in the group from years ago.
