THIS IS A STRENUOUS HIKE, steep, with several boulders to climb over. Please RSVP only if you are physically prepared to hike 4 to 4.5 steep, rocky miles in 2 hours. 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. Bring water!

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 waffles at Tia B’s La Waffleria, 3710 Campus Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87106

The wait can be long, and vegan options are limited, but they are delicious. The off-the-rack choices are the Bombay Coconut waffle with coconut whipped cream and mango or the Tostada on the yellow corn masa waffle with black beans, calabacitas, red or green chile, tomatoes, red onions, cilantro, avocado available as an extra. Or you can customize your own vegan waffle on either the coconut waffle or the yellow corn masa waffle. 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 waffle breakfast only, that would be fine also. We will plan to be at the restaurant at approximately 10 AM.
