* Tentative plan for Atalaya Mountain, Saturday. Trail starts at the parking lot here at St John's! Meet after breakfast at 9AM? Trail is 7 miles return, 2000ft elevation gain, I've seen no recommended times but I'd expect we'd return mid-afternoon. Good views back over Santa Fe. Trail easy at start but steep towards end. Should be a nice warm up before moving onto more difficult hikes. You'll need walking shoes, lunch, water (I suggest 3L), hat, sunscreen, rain jacket and a sweater just in case. Add your name if you're interested, but watch this space for confirmation (or alternative hikes -- did you buy that book Margreth?).

Pre-Program
Anyone coming early to Santa Fe? You can coordinate contacts and meeting here:
Yes. Sean has arrived early. Text me on 202-713-4282 if you'll be around.
Hiking
I'm excited by the excellent hiking and backpacking available around Santa Fe! For now, if you're interested in some hiking put down your name, previous experience and equipment you will be bringing (for those interested in overnight hiking). Later, we can use this page to arrange specific plans -- although if you have some ideas or intentions already, please put them down. SteveLade 03:28, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
- Steven Lade. Experience: many multi-day hikes ("backpacks"?) in Australia. Equipment: probably 2-man tent and my sleeping bag. Won't fit my stove I think. I enjoy strenuous hikes but am no masochist.
- Daniel Wuellner. Experience: several backpacking trips (2-5 days) in Wisconsin and California. Equipment: 2-person tent, stove, water filter. I'll also have a car (seats 4). I like strenuous day hikes and easy-moderate overnight trips.
- Casey Helgeson. I did a three month hike on the Florida National Trail in 2000, but very little since then. I won't be equipped for overnight camping, but would love to do some day hikes.
Hiking Plans
- Tentative plan for Atalaya Mountain, Saturday. Trail starts at the parking lot here at St John's! Meet after breakfast at 9AM? Trail is 7 miles return, 2000ft elevation gain, I've seen no recommended times but I'd expect we'd return mid-afternoon. Good views back over Santa Fe. Trail easy at start but steep towards end. Should be a nice warm up before moving onto more difficult hikes. You'll need walking shoes, lunch, water (I suggest 3L), hat, sunscreen, rain jacket and a sweater just in case.

Rafting
Some interest has been expressed in whitewater rafting trips.
Kokopelli Rafting offers morning, afternoon and all day (even two day camping) excursions.
Soccer
Mahyar would like to start up a soccer game, Tuesday 6/9, 7:00 on the St. John's soccer field. We'll bring the ball. You bring the game.
Basketball
We just started doing some sort of static simulation of what it's usually called "basketball". We plan to play on a somewhat regular basis after the afternoon lecture: the more we are, the better it is. Jacopo Tagliabue
After Santa Fe
At this stage, after the summer school I expect to have a week off before my next appointment at UC Davis. If you have some time off and are interested in some hiking or other outdoor activities around Santa Fe, or between SF and Davis, please let me know. SteveLade 03:28, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
