Juan Tabo Canyon Trail #4, Sandia Mountains, 1/25/14

A day of exploration! First time hiking trail #2, #2B and the southern section of trail #4.  Finding the trail head was challenging. No markers. We hiked almost to the end of Trail 2 before I was able to admit that, yes, we were on the correct trail. Trail #2 ended in a residential area and was barricaded.  Turning back, we could see the canyon cutting into the mountain where the southern end of trail #4 ends.
Trail #4  started in a wide riverbed...
that, entering the canyon, gradually got narrower...

and narrower. Water flows for the second half of tail #4 and we hopped our way back and forth following the stream bed.

End of the trail: the boundary with the Sandia Pueblo grounds. This is not a well known trail. Only locals seem to know it.  We were alone most of the time which gave us the feeling of being completely separated from civilization, although the city was right over the hill and city noises were audible from time to time.
