San Pedro Parks Wilderness Overnight Backpacking Trip

San Pedro Parks is one of the wettest areas in New Mexico, with forests, streams, and large meadows.

We will start from San Gregorio (FR 70), take Las Vacas Trail to Penas Negras Trail to Perchas Trail to Damian Trail and back to San Gregorio.  Altitude ranges from 9300 to 10300.  This will be approximately 7 miles the first day, and a little over 9 the second day.  Rolling hills with a pack under 1/5th of my bodyweight will allow for a fairly rapid hiking pace with time to relax or a side hike to San Pedro Park on the first day.  I’ll arrange a pre-meeting so we can discuss the route arrange from one or two drivers from Los Alamos.  We'll leaving Saturday morning, and returning Sunday evening.
