Northside Taos Ski Valley day hike

While we wait for summer rains, the forests are closing one by one. But that doesn't mean we cannot go hiking. Northside across from Taos Ski Valley is a private piece of land that rises from the Ski Valley parking lot to the summit of Frazer Mountain at 12,163 feet, with 2,800 feet of vertical gain. There is an admission fee of $5 - please bring exact change.
We will leave Los Alamos at 8 AM, drive to the ski valley, and hike up the roads and trails to as high as our little legs will carry us. Bring the usual day trip gear - lunch, water, rain gear, clothes suitable for whatever the weather. Interested participants may stop for dinner in Taos or TSV on the way back home. We will decide on carpooling plans and the return schedule at our meeting point. Contact Bill by e-mail to join this outing.
