Canyon Estates-Faulty trails, Sandia Mountains, NM, 5/21/20


Covid-19 pandemic hike #10

Banana Yucca


For details about this hike, see April 1 Covid-19 pandemic hike #3.
Today, our NM Mountain Club co-hiker and I set out to redo this loop hike described in 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles.  We got a got early start (9:10 am) and followed the Crest trail to Upper Faulty and then to Faulty without incident. As we walked, we enjoyed the flowers and colors on this beautiful balmy late spring day. Arriving at the Upper Faulty - Faulty crossroad, I did not pay much attention and followed the section of Faulty in front of me.  Over half a mile later we noticed my mistake and retraced our steps, adding 1.2 miles to the hike. Total distance ~ 7 miles with ~1200 ft elevation.
