Sandia Peak Snowshoe Race: Jan. 21, 2012

Sponsored by the Friends of the Sandia Mountains

The 2012 Sandia Peak Snowshoe race is Albuquerque’s only snowshoe race. It is a 3.2-mile race held atop the Sandia Mountains at an elevation of 10,678 feet. The views through the crystal-clear skies are magnificent: to the west is the sprawling city of Albuquerque, with the Rio Grande winding through it; to the north and east, you can see Santa Fe and the “Turquoise Trail”.

Come join us for a beautiful, sunny, snowy day and a friendly snowshoe race through the Cibola National Forest!

See the snowshoe web site for more details.
