Covid-19 pandemic hike #12
Set off for another Thursday hike with Mountain Club co-hikers for this 4.9-mile loop in the lower eastern Sandia Mountains. Started at the Cienaga Horse Bypass which added 1.5 miles to the hike for a total of ~6 miles. Elevation ~970 ft.
The Armijo trail, the first leg of the loop, is described in Sandia Mountains Hike Guide as "one of the best-kept secret in the Sandias" and the All Trails app mentions the "beautiful wildflowers."
And so it was, wildflowers in bloom galore amidst the ponderosa pines.
Salsify
Lupine
Perfect lunch spot on the Faulty trail.
Alpine cancer-root, also called bear corn.
Western Wallflower
New Mexico Locust
