Sunny winter day with high in the mid-40s after a week or so with no snow. Lots of packed down snow and slippery ice. Occasional patches of mud in melted places. Microspikes highly advisable in these conditions. Beautiful views over Santa Fe to Jemez Mountains, southwest to Sandia Peak and Ortiz Mountains, and northeast to Sangre de Cristos -- plus the pleasure of walking on a snowy trail through pine and juniper woods. Our Gaia track included the walk back along the roadside trail to our original parking place and was 2.94 miles, 544 ft elevation gain, 1 hour and 23 minutes.

Dale Ball Trail System with Cathy and Randy
Delightful hike with Cathy and Randy as Randy introduced us to this wonderful trail system. Lots of good ideas for us as we build our signage on the Arnold Rim Trail.
