Domingo Baca trail, Sandia Mountains, 1/8/2012

This hike starts from the Elena Gallegos Picnic Area and follows the Domingo Baca Canyon to the wreckage of the TWA flight that crashed in 1955. We do this hike regularly because we like the varied and rugged terrain that requires a bit of scrambling here and there.

The trail follows a streambed that divides into two at some point. At that point is a turnoff that we have missed more than once. Found it this time and hiked a little further than we usually do.

Plenty of snow and ice on the trail today. Pulled out our Yak Tracks and enjoyed the views.
