There were probably better days for picture-taking to capture the views of Albuquerque from the South Crest Trail. The afternoon winds kicked up dust and dirt in the desert, making the air too hazy to see very far. But since we hadn’t yet been on this popular trail we got enough pictures to give a sense of the place and didn’t worry too much that they weren’t professional quality photos. After all, most of our photos have that problem.

Pics turned out fine. How far up the SCT did you go?
I forgot to add my Every Trail track which shows the map and GPS data for the hike:

The total mileage was 7.8; 3.9 up and 3.9 back down.
You went up a lot farther then we did but strange how our mileage is about the same. None of these GPS units seem to agree with each other on distance traveled.
