Albuquerque, NM: Albuquerque Chapter, Galisteo Battlefield Trail Hike

We’ll meet at the Albertson’s in Santa Fe off of St. Francis Drive. Meet at the north end of the parking lot. We’ll leave the parking lot at 9:30. From there the drive is about a half hour to Pecos National Park.
We’ll do the 2 mile loop twice (reversing direction after the first loop, for a total of 4 miles). There are moderate, short elevation gains and descents on a good trail with footbridges over creek beds. This is a forested area so no sun issues and can actually be a bit cool in temperature. Hiking poles are not super necessary, but can help with some of the uphill segments. There are a number of historic markers describing the Civil War battle that occurred there.
There are restrooms in the parking area.
As always, bring a hat, plenty of water, a snack if you like and wear appropriate shoes and clothing.

Sorry, but dogs are not allowed on hikes per National protocol. Thanks for your understanding.
