After hiking this section, surrounded by big horn sheep, I was able to get a nice view from above. I've never experienced something like these meadows and it almost felt like wandering in a dream as I made my way through them. Truly a special place that should be taken care of.
Hi! Looking for backpacking recs for my family. My husband and I have backpacked Lake Katherine but otherwise haven’t backpacked much around NM. We will be bringing our two girls - 6&10 yrs. Kids are good hikers, have done multiple back to back days of 6-7mile hikes with lots of elevation gain in Yosemite, but we’d like to make this a one night trip so I’m comfortable with a 2-4 mile effort (one way) to allow for minimal whining and maximal enjoyment of the camping.
Water features are a plus. I’m thinking maybe Nambe Lake, but I’ve also heard there are some great spots near Pecos but I’m not clear on exact locations! Thanks!
Come hang out look for mushrooms and learn! We'll also be doing a cooking demo with the edibles we find. Kids and pets welcome!
Hello, doing a small overnight backpacking trip this weekend at San Pedro and wondering if anyone had any reports on water sources being dry or any other useful info, thanks in advance!
Im planning on doing a solo hike in the near future and am very torn between "Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah" trail or the "Tree spring trail to pino canyon overlook" and need some advice on what to go with from some more experienced hikers.
Past weekend in Pecos Wilderness. Scramble from Trampas to Sheepshead and descent to San Leonardo is not for the weak, but incredibly beautiful.
Edit: Thanks to u/vladimirPutin2016 and u/Long_Dong_Silver6 for the advice
I'm looking for suggestions for campgrounds with trailheads starting at the campground itself, no driving needed. We are camping with an elderly parent, who we will be leaving at the campground during the day while we do a dayhike with our pups. We need to leave our camper at the campsite for them to hang out in, so we can't drive to any trailheads.
Here's a start to the list:
What are some other campgrounds with trailheads?
Hey all, looking for any info on current conditions this season. Coming next month and have not seen many reports yet. Status of blow-downs and anything notable would be appreciated.
​
Also, if anyone would like to weigh in on your favorite places to camp along the east approach loop, that would be appreciated.
