A Walk In The Jemez  

06/14/07 - Jemez, Santa Fe National Forest, NM

Taking a picturesque walk north of Albuquerque

 
It was our third time up to the hiking trails around Jemez Springs, about an hour and 45 minutes northwest of Albuquerque, where this time we decided to take an 'off the map' hike down a trail that we were driving past.  So we pulled over at Las Conchas trailhead, which leads to part of the East Fork Trail.  An easy, flat walk down the banks of a river, it's so beautiful you must remember to ask us to take you there next time you're visiting us here in Albuquerque.  We practically had the trail to ourselves - with the exception of the occasional intrusion of a chipmunk here or there.


Rocky cliffs all along the stream add to the scenery


Lovely Jemez area


Can't quite see the stream toward the right in this shot, but imagine the sound of babbling water to enhance your website viewing experience


Don't touch that handrail too hard... it's not exactly stable!


Fat chipmunks abound on this trail
