Report:
The weather forecast was scary (below freezing to start, overcast with wind later) but two hikers showed up for this hike. It was chilly as we made our way up the Embudo arroyo, but the sun came out and the winds never blew. Jill picked up trash along the way and collected big bags full of ball caps, plastic cups, paper, and plastic bags. The trail is part of the Albuquerque 50-mile loop and was well marked. We stayed on it except for a short distance on the Piedra Lisa arroyo to Einstein’s Bagels. We stopped there to warm up and enjoy a hot drink and a bagel. On the way back it was warm enough to shed our outer coats.
The photos show a tree with unfamiliar nuts and our hikers on the pedestrian bridge that crosses I-40.
