Join us for a Saturday morning of action and adventure, hiking a few miles on the Embudo trail, and socializing with vegans. (Please do not confuse the Embudo trail with the Embudito trail.)

This is a rather challenging, strenuous hike. We will only be covering about 4 to 5 miles round trip, but is kind of steep, with some boulders we’ll have to scramble over. Please be in reasonably good shape and be prepared for a knee and ankle workout. It is a really pretty route with a lot of variety in terrain and vegetation. We will not go all the way up to the top; rather we will hike up the mountain for about an hour, and then turn around and return the same way.

Go all the way to the eastern end of Indian School Road, through the entrance gate and down to the lower parking lot. If the lot is full you can go back out the gate and park on the street. Let’s meet at the east end of the parking lot at the trail entrance. There are no restroom facilities or drinking fountains at this location. Please leave enough time for parking and prep to help us to hit the trail on time at 9:30.

If you bring any refreshments along for yourself, please respect all members of this ABQ Vegan Meetup event by ensuring that they are completely plant-based (no meat, no dairy, no eggs, and no honey).
