CCC + South Crest Trail

The South Crest Trail goes up to a peak at the southern end of the Sandia mountain range; the CCC trail, which my dad and I discovered back in 2017, is a somewhat unofficial trail connecting to the aforementioned path that goes straight up the side of the mountain (which is to say it's shorter, but a lot steeper). My dad and I hiked it again last week, on June 13th.
