San Lorenzo Canyon
by Gill Baltazar

8 Completed 4 Reviews

As you drive from the black top onto the dirt road (2.5 miles from black top) is well maintained. You will see a sign on your right side onto a sandy dirt road. This is an dry river bottom. stay on main tracks!! there many side tracks that you can get stuck. From the sign the entrance to the canyon is about 3 miles. some areas within the canyon is deep sand. There are number of side canyon off the main canyon to hike into. The first side canyon as you enter the main canyon is on your left is well worth seeing.
Be aware of flash flooding during rainy season in the canyon and the river bottom can become dangerous

Impressive. Two herd of elk in the distance. A brief heavy rain brought the temp down a little.

Church Rock Trail

This is a very rocky trail. It is definitely a moderate/difficult as it is a lot of uphill on slippery rock. The scenery and the views are incredible. If you're ever in Gallup, NM it's a must do. There are lots of critters and we found the occasional dog droppings that were left behind so watch your step!

I'm only giving a 3 star because I have not made the complete climb yet. I will be going again this month so I can get a better understanding of it. I do like what I see though. 22-23 June is the super moon so I think I'll got for that. Should be some great Stellar photography then.

Jemez Falls

Nice falls. Been here three times. Like all waterfalls, they're best in the early summer when they're running lots of water. Very easy walk, takes very little time. ----------- Only caveat was we got our car broken into the second time (broke a window). Pretty sure someone was waiting up there and watching cars for an opportunity to rob someone. We never saw anything but we were only gone about a half hour. I didn't have anything in the car but they stole in total: a camera, book of cd's, and a bag full of girls shoes. I just mention it so you don't leave anything laying about. :/

Fun trail. A good little day hike for light hikers and kids. It has a nice view of the Mexican Canyon Trestle at the end. It's mostly down on the way there and up on the way back.

Bandera Crater - Ice Caves
by

An enjoyable and scenic hike to the crater with nice views all along the trail, ending in a good view at the entire crater of the extinct volcano. I was amazed by the ice caves which remain frozen year round due to the insulating qualities of the lava tubes in which they are formed.

White Sands Backcountry

This place is beautiful. It's as if you're in another world. The sand feels great between your toes and the backcountry is nothing but white sand dunes and mountains in the backdrop. Awesome place!
