Piedra Lisa Trail, Sandia Mountains, 1/29/2012

The Piedra Lisa trail start just north of the La Luz trail, follows Juan Tabo Canyon, climbs up to Rincon Ridge. and then meanders down to Placitas. We went up to Juan Tabo ridge, had lunch and returned, four miles in all, elevation close to 2000 feet.
It is one our favorite hikes because of the panoramic views of the western face of the Sandias.
View to the east. Plan was to hike some of Rincon Spur Trail once we got to the ridge but there was too much snow.
Piedra Lisa means "smooth rock" in Spanish. The trail probably got its name from the crazy rock formations along the trail.
