12 miles of hiking • 2000' elevation gain •
Our first long day hike in NM, the first weekend after finding a place to live in Albuquerque. We met several lizards that looked like bearded dragons, although they were more colorful. We hiked from the Canyon Estates parking lot up the South Crest Trail until we reached the northern Embudito Trail trailhead—then turned back around due to looming storm clouds. Great view of Abq once we made it up to the southern part of the ridgeline.
