Peaks of the Jemez Mountains, New Mexico

October 3, 2009

Author: Jan Studebaker

'Peak' Slideshow with comments: click here.      Peak location map: click here.

The Jemez Mountains of Northern New Mexico are so heavily forested that viewing the peaks is sometimes difficult. The slideshow for this report shows some of the largest, or most interesting, peaks in the Jemez as viewed (generally) from atop nearby peaks.

Chicoma Mountain is the high peak on the left skyline.  Caballo Mountain is on the right skyline closest to the camera.  Polvadera Peak is hidden behind and to the north of Chicoma.  This photo was taken looking north from the top of the Pajarito Mountain, near the Aspen Lift
.

I spent a fair amount of time exploring the Jemez with my friends this year, and decided to get a few photos of the the peaks themselves rather than just the climbs.  I've included a map (see above) that helps to locate the peaks on a topo map.

Redondo Peak as seen from near the "East Fork Trailhead" on NM4.  Redondo is a large central mountain that can be seen from many locations in the Jemez.  This view is from the east.  The smoke at center screen is from the remnants of a fire I reported recently.

For your convenience, I have also included links to LAM trip reports that contain these photos, and to other LAM trip reports that are about Jemez activities:
