Snow shoe hike, Sandia Mountains, NM, 1/15/20

Nine of us joined the NM Mountain Club Wednesday snow shoe hike, traveling south east from the 10K trailhead and making a loop going north west and uphill to the 10K trail. After more plowing thru powdery snow mostly uphill, we reached the Ellis trailhead where we stopped for lunch. All in all we covered about 3 miles mostly uphill and breaking trail in the snow.  Hard work! Result: I was too busy trudging uphill to take pictures. 

Snow shoe hike, Sandias, NM, 1/8/20

Very first snow shoe hike of the year.  

NM Mountain Club Wednesday outing: 9 hikers, 4.5-mile loop  from the 10K trailhead up to the tram via Kiwanis meadow and back,  with ~800 feet elevation.

Above, group huddle for snow shoe first aid. 

Arrived at the tram lodge way to early for lunch so someone suggested we go look at "the faces."

After some searching and about 1/2 mile of backtracking, we found two of the three breaded faces.
