I've decided that I'm going to try and visit the top brewery in every state that I visit. Ergo, last night I checked out La Cumbre Brewery in ABQ. Yes, it was indeed delicious.
For some reason unbeknownst to my common sense, today I decided to hike the La Luz trail up to Sandia Crest. 8 miles of hiking and 1 mile in elevation gain later, I made it to the crest at 10,678 feet. Some gaiters would have been handy for the last 5 miles of the hike but hey, I'm from New England and I don't grasp how high desert ecosystems work. A really interesting aspect of this trail is that it climbs through 4 different biomes before reaching the top. Took 4 hours to hike up and another 2 hours to hike/run back down before sunset. Now that I'm really really fed up with snow, I've driven to El Paso Texas where I will hopefully get into Hueco Tanks for some world-class bouldering tomorrow.
My legs hurt.
