Manzanita Canyon to Lobo Peak

Let's try something new! This is a hike to the high ridge north of the Taos Ski Valley road, beginning at 8,400 feet and peaking out at 12,155 feet, with a round-trip distance of 8.6 miles. We will leave Los Alamos at 7:30 AM to try to stay ahead of summer thunderstorms, meeting place to be announced to confirmed participants. This will be new country to me, but I expect spectacular views of Wheeler Peak and the rest of the northern New Mexico high country. If heavy thunderstorms are in the forecast, I will have a variant hike that keeps us off the ridge tops. Please contact me at bill at priedhorsky dot net. Participation will be limited to 10, and if the trip looks like it will fill up, Mountaineers members will be given preference.
