Join us for our weekly Sunday Social Hike! Per [AllTrails](https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/new-mexico/otero-canyon-to-blue-ribbon-trail?sh=1fnn96), this **moderately challenging hike** is completed in 2h 13m, with an elevation gain of 600 ft and distance of 5.5 miles. It's a great way to get out into nature, form and foster friendships, challenge your fitness, and engage in fun and meaningful conversations! Please use this **[google maps link](https://maps.app.goo.gl/q1rs6GcCPeDZ8ucr6)** to find the **gravel lot parking off highway 337**, which is where folks will meetup. Again, please note that this is a moderately challenging hike! If you're new to hiking, then it's highly encouraged that you begin with our easy difficulty social hiking series. **Pro Tips:** * We begin hiking **\~5 minutes after** the event start time. * Bring water **and an extra layer** (it's colder on this side of the mountain) * Bring a bottle of water. * Dogs are welcome when leashed and friendly. * Self-organizing grabbing dinner and drinks post-hike is encouraged.
