"Big loop starting at Embudito parking lot, headed north on 365 and then took 305 to Pino. Took Pino to the crest trail and headed south to Barts. Dropped down Barts to Faulty then south to Upper Faulty to the CCC. Climbed up CCC to the South Peak Trail then back to Embudito all the way back down to the parking lot." — Brian-Pilgrim • Jul 27, 2019

It was a chilly morning with a starting temperature of 27 degrees Fahrenheit. The starting elevation was 6540 feet. The trailhead is east of the peak and north of the village of Tijeras. We entered the Sandia Mountain Wilderness. The sun had not yet come up, but within a short time it was lighting up the mountain. A three quarters of a mile hike and we were at the Travertine Falls and cave. The falls were just a trickle. Our hiking plan was to take the long gradual way up, then the short steeper way down. It was a beautiful hike through an ever changing forest. Most of the hike was accompanied by expansive views as the forest opened up again and again. The 5 mile mark is where you can first look over the ridge ..." — Phil-Robinson • Oct 19, 2013
