Valles Canyon Hike


Image Sunday, April 20th the Las Cruces chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association will be having a pancake breakfast. The breakfast includes a western omelet, pancakes, bacon or sausage, orange juice and coffee served in their hangar at the Las Cruces airport. After breakfast, we will hike in Valles Canyon.

Valles Canyon is a major tributary of Broad Canyon and is another little known treasure of the Sierra de las Uvas. The box canyon formation near its junction with Broad Canyon is one of the most scenic canyons in the Las Cruces area, but receives few visitors.

If you wish to hike with us, then please RSVP.
