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.

Lake Katherine late in the day
Lake Katherine is so wonderful. There are fish in it, too. Just be prepared for hail. Every time I've been at Katherine, it's hailed, at least briefly. Also be prepared for people. If you arrive late in the day, you may have to hunt a bit for a good campsite. Try the far side of the lake if you have to.
