South Piedra Lisa Trail

 



Kathy took a photo of the trail route but we did not need it. She has an App on her phone called "Map my Walk" which as long as you have phone connectivity, it shows you your route and your location. It also showed elevation, distance and time.


Piedra Lisa, we think means (Smooth Stone) Trail marker. Trail follows the hillside around to the north before entering a canyon and climbing, nearly constantly, to the saddle at 2.2 miles.

     

The trail is well maintained and easy to follow with wonderful views throughout.


As with other hikes in the area, the start follows some very nice houses along the route.


Steep but us sea level east coast seniors pushed through with some stops along the way! Great vistas!!!!


Excellent moderate hike. Well maintained trail with great views of Sandia Crest.



Remember the great views!


The payoff is worth the scramble up to the summit for the panoramic view.



You never know what's in the photo till you view the shot.  Kathy did an excellent job catching a bird in fight.  


It gets a little confusing as to where you're supposed to go at the T-junction at the top, but just find a place and enjoy the view!
