Past Trips

Several of us are planning a Colorado Fourteener trip this August, and we would like to invite other Club members to join us.  We are planning to drive up to Vicksburg (near Buena Vista) on Friday morning, August 18, and backpack up the Missouri Gulch trail to timberline that afternoon.  From there, we can easily access three Fourteeners (Belford, Oxford, and Missouri) and two high Thirteeners (Iowa and Emerald).  So this is a great opportunity for Club members to bag Fourteeners or Centennial peaks!  It would also be fun just to spend time above timberline and enjoy the

This is a strenuous but enjoyable hike to a 12000+ feet peak north of Taos Ski Valley. We will have spectacular views in all directions, remnants of mining activity, and summer wildflowers.  We start at Taos Ski parking lot and follow the Bull of Wood trail to the junction to Long Canyon trail. Following this steep and shady trail, we climb gradually out of the canyon to the treeline. The final 1+ mile is all above the treeline with breathtaking views.

This is the first in a series of summit hikes to peaks in our local Sangre de Christo range. We will hike via the Windsor trail from the Santa Fe Ski Basin to the summit of Santa Fe Baldy. This will be a strenuous hike of ~13.5 miles with 3,500 feet of elevation gain. We will need to get an early start to avoid afternoon thunderstorms. Los Alamos area participants will meet at Sullivan Field at 7:00 AM. Santa Fe area folks can meet us at the trailhead at the north west side of the Ski Santa Fe parking lot at 8:15 AM.
