Just some pictures snapped while snowshoeing around the Sandias over the last few weekends. My usual winter training until daylight savings time and backpacking (if I gotta train, may as well be here).
The 10K trail under snow…
View between I-25 and the "Turquoise Trail"
Feb 7, 2011 at 5:57 pm #1693804Ok now I see how this area works … just some more pics adding some from the Crest in wintertime
Going up the hill ….
Just a view but later found out this is a XC ski danger area
Looking east … often see hawks, eagles, et al soaring on thermals from the valley
… and looking down the west face ..People can just take the tram, but then they miss out on all the lung-busting exercise.
XC skiers up above but they were soon hiking right after this point
The mountains change through the seasons and hopefully I can capture that.
Feb 7, 2011 at 6:24 pm #1693830Great pictures. I miss that place. If you go the rock house in the winter, be careful, especially if you're alone and climb onto the roof at 1 AM… If you hike to the TWA crash site, I'd enjoy some pictures.

Feb 7, 2011 at 9:29 pm #1693937Hard to believe how muc snow the Sandias have gotten the last couple of seasons.
Feb 8, 2011 at 5:30 am #1693990Great pictures! I sure miss that area and the ever present Sandias.
