This is an all-day trip that begins/ends at Taos Ski Valley (TSV) and covers ~9 miles and ~5,100 feet of elevation.  We can drive to and park near the Phoenix Grill at TSV.  The plan is to hike up the Chair 4 route and the higher Kachina Chair route to Kachina Peak (12,481 ft), then hike CCW over Lake Fork Peak (12,881'), then along the cirque ridgeline over unnamed peaks 12,807' and 12,728' to Wheeler Peak (13,761'), and finally down to Williams Lake and back to the cars.  This traverse is mostly Class 2 with several Class 3 portions with exposure that should not be taken lightly.

Though I've been knocking around northern New Mexico for a long time, I've discovered a new place to explore, and I am excited to give it a go. I would like to reserve a cabin and surrounding camping area at the Gallina Canyon Ranch.    I know of no place that is this remote and just 2 - 2 1/2 hours from Los Alamos.

Let's hike to the St. Peter's Dome fire lookout, on the southern end of Bandelier National Monument - there should be some very good views of Bandelier.

The hike will start at the intersection of FS Road 289 (Dome Road) and FS Road 142.  We will follow Road 142 for 4.5 miles to the lookout.  It is a 4wd road that Mother Nature is reclaiming.  Little elevation change.

Because this hike is on FS property (not Bandelier and not the Dome Wilderness), it is be possible to mountain bike this trip and it is possible to bring a dog (using leash or other positive control).

Continuing with my theme of "not-a-hut" trips, I've reserved two cabins with a total of 6 bedrooms and a loft at an off-the-grid Colorado ranch near Slumgullion Pass, between Creede and Lake City. From there we can hike, look for peaks to climb, fish, and generally explore a corner of Colorado that I haven't visited for years. Details of the ranch can be found at http://www.oleoranch.com. It seems to be situated in remote, very pretty aspen and meadow and country.

My name is Hunter Parrott and I work at Glorieta Camps. I would like to share some info on a training opportunity we have coming up here at Glorieta Camps that may interest LAM members.

 

We are hosting a Wilderness First Responder course August 15-23. Instruction will be through SOLO (Stonehearth Open Learning Opportunities). This course is a great opportunity to learn how to appropriately care for illnesses and medical emergencies during extended care situations in the backcountry.

LAST MINUTE TRIP:   Had some requests to put this info on website, soo... We are going backpacking on a route less traveled! A group of us did this Wheeler Peak overnight backpack as a pre-trip for the 35+ mile Skyline & NM Peaks Backpack last year. It's a good fitness and skills check, provides a chance to test gear, and, of course, bagging New Mexico’s highest peak at 13,161 feet is an annual must-do for any Mountaineer. But wait! There's more! The back side approach to Wheeler has a extraordinary amount of floral and fauna, lakes and waterfalls. Oh my!
