Please read entire description prior to RSVP to avoid any misunderstandings.

Let’s hit the trail for hiking, socializing with other vegans and experiencing the seemingly magical interaction of the Sandias and the late afternoon sunlight on this pretty easy hike of about 3.5 to 4 miles. We’ll have it wrapped up by just a few minutes after sunset so flashlights will not be necessary.

This hike has mild hills and some uneven rocky parts, but no long steep hills. If you haven’t been hiking for a while this hike might be a good way to ease back into it.

Location: Michial M Emery Trailhead (spelled Michael Emery on some of the signs, also known as Bear Canyon Trailhead), High Desert Place, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87111 (Meet at the rock benches) GPS Coordinates[masked], [masked]

Drivers, please allow a few extra minutes for parking and prep so we’ll be able to hit the trail on time at 5 PM sharp. Parking is free at this location, but the parking lot will likely be full. There is also some street parking available on side streets off of High Desert Place about a quarter mile south of the main trailhead parking lot.

If you are running late: High tail it out on the Michial Emery Trail. We’ll be taking a loop so you will likely be able to either catch up to us or encounter us head on.

Please respect all attendees of this ABQ Vegan Meetup event by ensuring that any snacks or drinks that you bring along for yourself are vegan.
