THIS IS A STRENUOUS HIKE, steep, with several boulders to climb over. We will hike for about an hour out and an hour back, on the Canyon Trail, (also labeled the Piedra Lisa Trail or Whitewash Trail on some maps). Be prepared for a knee and ankle workout.

Please do not confuse the Piedra Lisa trailhead with the Piedra Lisa South or Piedra Lisa North trailheads. Drive east on Candelaria NE until it ends at Camino de la Sierra, turn right, and go about 1/4 mile, you will see the parking lot on your left.
There is ample free parking at this location, but no restroom facilities or drinking fountain.

As a post hike option:

VEGAN lunch at Fei’s Cafe, 2918 Eubank Blvd NE, Ste B, Albuquerque, NM 87112

Fei’s has been recommended by vegan hikers of impeccable judgement. This will be my first visit. Taiwanese street food, 90% vegan. Expect bento box-style lunch combos, veggie buns and dumplings, a curry stew, a couple of different fried breads, and amazing veggie nuggets. PLEASE RESPECT ALL MEMBERS OF THIS ABQ VEGAN MEETUP BY ENSURING THAT ANY FOOD WE CONSUME ON THE TRAIL OR AT THE RESTAURANT IS COMPLETELY VEGAN (no meat, no dairy, no eggs, no honey). If you would like to join for the lunch only, that would be fine also. We will plan to be at the restaurant at approximately 1 PM.
