Sandia Mountains Boundary Loop

This hike was suggested by our friends Katy and Marlin. It starts at the turn off to La Luz Trail and makes a loop into Jaral Canyon. It is a short trail, 2.5 miles round trip, perfect for a winter mid-day hike. Although the slopes look bare in the picture above, we did encourter a fair amount of snow that allowed us to try out our cleats. Pyramid Peak is in the background.

The return loop followed a ridge with spectacular views and steep canyon walls.
