Meet at 9 a.m. at Smiths at tramway and central (on the tramway side, close to the gas station and the edge of the parking lot) to carpool or at Ellis trailhead parking lot near the entrance at 9:50 a.m. This high altitude, three-hour long outing is approximately 3.5 miles round trip with 500 feet of elevation gain.

Register no later than February 11. Recommended gear list and additional information will be provided one week beforehand.Trip Leader: Debbie Bryant 832 692 1881, bryade@gmail.com Level: Moderate/ hard-ishLocation: East of AlbuquerqueSign up: www.riograndesierraclub.org/calendar
