Ortega Canyon
Posted: Oct 04 2012 6:23 am
This Alamogordo Canyon is one of the nicer drainages in the area, and a good preparation hike for the "bigger" Marble Canyon effort coming up in November. We will depart from the Firestation/Park at the east end of 10th street at 8am Sunday morning. The hike will likely loop up and catch Ortega Peak... so, 3000'+ of gain/loss and around 9 miles. This is a Class I Canyoneering hike... mostly off trail. This is not overly difficult, but it is not for beginners.
