What: Bear Canyon hike plus optional vegan lunch at Annapurna’s

Time: Sunday, July 7thth, 9:30 AM

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

The plan this time is for a moderately difficult hike of about 4 to 5 miles. We will get an up close look at the burn area from the June 11th fire.

Drivers, please allow a few extra minutes for parking. Parking is free at this location, but sometimes the lot fills up and there can be a brief wait for a space to become available. 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.

As a post hike option: Lunch at Annapurna’s, 5200 Eubank Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87111

Please use care in ordering as not all dishes at Annapurna’s are completely vegan. Please respect all members of this ABQ Vegan Meetup event by ensuring that any food we bring along for the hike or order at the restaurant is completely plant-based (no meat, no dairy, no eggs, and no honey). If you would like to join for the lunch only that would be great too, but I can only predict a very approximate arrival time at the restaurant of 12:00 PM to 12:30 PM, to leave some flexibility for the speed of the hike.
