## Details
This stroll along the East Fork of the Jemez River is an easy relaxing hike, perfect for finding wildflowers. The stream flows in a rocky canyon in a deep conifer forest, but also meanders through a series of open meadows. The trail goes for about 2 miles before climbing out of the canyon in a series of switchbacks. The stream, meadows, boulders, and forests provide a good diversity of wildflower habitats. There will be good wildflower viewing from June through September. The elevation here is about 8,400 feet.
Meet at the Unity Spiritual Center Albuquerque, parking lot at 8 am to drive to the Los Conchas trail in the beautiful Jemez Mountains. Bring food, water, sunscreen and a hat. Dress for the weather. Note that we are meeting at 8 am to beat the heat.
