Name: Hondo Pass Hike
Start: 2025-01-04T07:30:00-07:00
End: 2025-01-04T13:00:00-07:00

We will meet at the Alon Gas Station at 3400 Hondo Pass Dr, El Paso, TX 79904 and commence hiking at 0730 hrs promptly. Parking will have to be on the side streets in the vicinity, so you will have to "hike" to the Gas Station. I would avoid parking at the Gas Station to avoid being towed!

This is a moderately strenuous hike that will take us from Hondo Pass Rd up to a saddle overlooking Loop 375. The majority of the hike will be in a wash that turns into a draw; and depending on overgrowth, we may get lucky with some trail as well. If you don't enjoy off-trail hikes, this may not be the one for you. Once we get to the saddle, we can decide whether to take a ridge back or take a loop back down to the same draw and work our way out to civilization. Keep in mind that there will be some rock climbing but nothing an intermediate hiker can't handle.

Bring durable shoes, pants, and top. A healthy amount of water plus an extra bottle and some snacks are a must. Wear a hat if it suits you or bring some other form of sun protection.

It is impossible to predict the exact end-time, but we should be back before 1300 hrs if all goes smoothly. This depends on how fast we hike as a group. We will stay together as a group and help each other. If a hiker cannot continue for whatever reason, I will terminate the hike if there isn't an experienced hiker willing to escort the "fallen" hiker back out.
