LPA Hike to Paliza Canyon and Goblin Colony

July 18, 2018

Now that the National Forest’s are back open it is time again to hike another of the many trails within an hour from Albuquerque.

This is a 4- mile out and back trail with towering Ponderosa pines and sculptured red sandstone goblins.

Hike is generally rated as easy, but exploring in and around the goblins can be strenuous.

We will meet at the Merc parking lot on NM 165 here in Placitas at 8:55 on Sunday August 12 for a 9 o’clock departure. Wear good hiking shoes/boots, bring a hat, sunscreen and possibly a hiking stick. We will provide the water.

Send me an email at haigh44@yahoo.com so I alert you if the Forest closes again.

Environmental historian Donald Worster said “Learn where you are. Learn about this place and its history. Learn not only the history of its people but the history of the land itself, its deep history. Learn to adapt your ideas and institutions to that land. Learn to work together if you mean to endure.”
