I went to the North Bayo Bench Trail because I wanted to check afterwards if grandson had bounced back home from school with a fever. He's getting over the flu.
The mini explore was a trail off the main trail that led me up to Barranca Road near the intersection with El Rayo. I've always wondered where that side path off the North Bayo Bench Trail led to!
I continued on past that side trail explore to Barranca Crossing, took that up to Barranca Road and down into Rendija Canyon. I took the Rendija Canyon Trail back to the Guaje Pines Cemetery where I picked up the Dot Grant Trail back to my vehicle. Craig Martin's Los Alamos Trails says that loop is 4.5 miles.
On my walk, I thought about the wonderful, varied trails that we enjoy here. I'm hoping that the national lab (we really do glow in the dark!) and the fire destroyed mountains keep away any large influx of people from moving here and crowding the trails! At one time I truly entertained the idea of moving to CO but their trails are much more crowded than ours so I'll stay here and appreciate what I have here.
When I drove by daughter's, no one was there so apparently grandson made it through his first day back to school this week.
