Let’s explore Copper Canyon! We’ll take trail 400 to trail 365 and hike north a little way, and then turn to the east to head up a kind of steep, rocky trail into the canyon. We will be rewarded by a scenic vista at the top before turning around and heading back down the way we came. This is a difficult hike, but it’s an out and back so if some people want to take it kind of easy we will catch them on the way back. Some parts of the trail are quite steep and rocky. We will try to keep it to no more than 2 hours.

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 main choices are the Bombay Coconut waffle with coconut whipped cream and mango (or you can negotiate some other fruit toppings) or the Yellow Corn Masa waffle with black beans, calabacitas, red or green chile, tomatoes, red onions, cilantro, avocado available as an extra. 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.
