Dear all: Debby and I spent part of today walking along a most pleasing arroyo that leads to the west side of Sierra de la Cruz. Most of the time we walked on the red sandstone but here some areas were just full of those circular reduction spots in all different sizes (see attached photo). Also we found lots of evidence of spring flowers getting ready to bust out in bloom. We figure it's 2-1/2 miles to the south saddle of the Mt. from the starting point which is ~45-50 minutes drive (ordinary cars are OK).
Please meet us at 8 am, Saturday April 10 at the usual Socorro Consolidated Schools parking lot (or 8:15 at Escondida Bridge if that's easier for you). Bring snacks, water, etc. and cameras.
Bob and Debby

Hiking First is an informal group that gets together once a month on Saturday for a day hike in the area around Socorro, NM.
About Hiking First
- Hiking First is an informal group that gets together for day hikes in the area around Socorro on Saturday mornings, typically on the first Saturday of each month. Generally, we meet at 9am at the Socorro Consolidated Schools office parking lot at 700 Franklin Street and then car pool to the trail head.
- Our hikes vary in difficulty, but most are easy to moderate, lasting no more than a few hours and covering six miles or less. Be sure to bring along appropriate clothing, boots, walking sticks, water, and snacks. Remember that it gets cooler at higher elevations (about 5 degrees per thousand feet.)
- Along the way, we get some great views from high places, as well as chances to see the history, archeology, geology, and wildlife of the area.
