Otero Canyon, Cibola National Forest, NM, 2/28/18


Instead of hiking with the Mountain Club, we decided to take off on our own. The trail head is reached by driving about 8 miles south of Tijeras on NM 337. Jim had hiked there with the Mountain Club and liked the area, with its large area of well-marked trails. 



In preparation for doing a loop, I had downloaded the map of the trail and surrounding trails from the All Trails app.  Although it took some searching we eventually were able to do a loop,
