Oat – Hay Canyons To Bottom Long – Jemez Mountains
Wed, 2024-09-18 @ 8:30 AM
Highlights: Pleasant hike up the valley, then up Oat Canyon for a descent down Hay covered with wildflowers in the spring, to a sensational viewpoint, then down to the valley below.
Cautions: Use of hiking poles is recommended for the descent to the bottom. Note: Because of recent fence installations we may have to go under a fence.
