The Santa Fe to Taos Thru-Hike

The Santa Fe to Taos thru-hike goes from the Santa Fe Plaza all the way to Taos Plaza over the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. It is 132 miles long, spans four counties – Santa Fe, Rio Arriba, Mora, and Taos – and crosses the Santa Fe National Forest, The Pecos Wilderness, and Carson National Forest.

We have Gaia GPS maps documenting every step of the thru-hike.

This is up from 76, the way Riley and I went in 2018. See that very distant mountain, with the steep side on the left? That's where we had come from. I love that about long-distance hiking - being able to look way off and point to something and say "we came from there."
