Buzzin' Round the Old Pueblo


This past weekend two good friends came to visit. They came to network at the U and maybe do some city-scoping. We'd love for them to decide to move here and expand our friend network from 2 to 4. Avid outdoors folks, we tried to show them a lot of what the Southwest has to offer. Particularly in February.

Day 1 - 8 mile RT hike to the 7 Falls.
By far my favorite hike in the area. Beautiful, not particularly strenuous, runs a long a river, and ends with waterfalls. Hard to beat. After all the running, this felt like a really long hike. My quads were definitely heavy by the end, but it was nice to take a long distance at a slower pace in order to really enjoy the scenery, rather than stare at my feet and try not to trip over rocks, as I do when I run.
