About us
Mountain Cathedrals is a group for people who would like to encounter God and build community in our sacred outdoor wilderness spaces. As we join together for monthly day hikes on the third Saturday of each month, we will build elements of worship (scripture, prayer, and Holy Communion) into the hiking experience, allowing our ancient Christian traditions and our current hiking and outdoor spaces to work together to point to the presence of God among us.
Mountain Cathedrals is a ministry of St. John's United Methodist Church, and hikes will be led by a United Methodist clergyperson. We are, however, committed to building community and connections across denominational lines, and as such, we are open and sensitive to the faith traditions and backgrounds of all participants.
Mountain Cathedrals is a re-birth of the former Worship in the Wilderness meetup.

Mountain Cathedrals Hike - North Crest Trail South of Placitas
St. John's United Methodist Church (meet in east parking lot to carpool to trailhead), 2626 Arizona NE, Albuquerque, NM, USPlease join us at 7:30 AM in the St. Johns East Parking Lot to carpool to the Tunnel Spring Trailhead, or at the trailhead in Placitas at 8:10 (please let me know you're coming!). We plan to climb about 1700 feet on this 7 mile round trip route, passing some interesting mining history as well as wonderful vistas of the valley and mountains beyond. This is a moderately strenuous hike. Plan to be back at St. John’s by 3:30. Bring lunch, water, sun protection, and possibly trekking poles.
On this, the day before Pentacost Sunday, we are reminded that the Holy Spirit is around us and within us like the very air we breathe. Let us celebrate this, even if feeling a little out of breath at times!
