Noob from New Mexico

Just wanted to say hi. I live in New Mexico and do most of my hiking/backpacking here and in Colorado and Utah.

Welcome!

Welcome. Have you done the La Luz trail by any chance?

 

[graywolf]

Yes, about 12 years ago. I didn't go back because it is too crowded.

Good to know, thanks. I had this crazy idea a while ago of flying to ABQ, taking a cab to the trailhead, dayhiking it, and flying back in the same day or next morning. Airfare to ABQ can be found for really cheap and the trailhead is supposedly only a 20 min cab ride from ABQ.

It's a very popular trail not only with hikers but also with trail runners. There's a good restaurant at the crest and most people then take the Tram back down.
