Hello,
Welcome the month of June!Summer Solstice, Thursday, June 19th, 1pm to 3pm. The Solstice falls on Friday the 20th but we’ll observe it a day beforehand.

Let’s acknowledge the Summer Solstice by having a picnic and short walk to a small waterfall. This location is just an hours drive from ABQ. If you’re craving green forest, fresh air and clean mountain streams then this Meetup might be for you.

Battleship Rock is located at the confluence of the east fork of the Jemez River and San Antonio River in the Santa Fe National Forest.

We’ll take a short walk to a small waterfall and a walk along a trail next to the river. 1 mile in total. Sturdy walking shoes recommended. Bring a hat, sun screen and water.

Parking Fee is $5.00.

Pack a lunch for yourself and you’re welcome to bring a snack to share.Friendly dogs welcome. Bring a leash🐕.

Look for the table with the Pride Flag. I will try get the table next to the confluence of the two streams. Cell service is spotty so I may not be able to receive text messages.

Allow plenty of time to find the location. It’s roughly 65 miles north of downtown Albuquerque. And if you’ve never been to this picnic site the turn off to the picnic area is easy to miss. Also, the speed limit through the Jemez Indian Reservation is 30mph and is often enforced.

This is a heavily used site during the summer so expect many people.

Rain and Lightning will cancel this Meetup event. The Forest Service also closes the site in the event of a nearby forest fire.

If you are not able to attend this Meetup event I encourage you to visit the site/area on your own sometime this summer. It’s definitely worth the drive and your time!
