The high country of Northern New Mexico is a treasure. Some of it is well-known, but much is not. Discover hidden alpine lakes, stunning vistas, and what the Milky Way looks like without light pollution at 11,000 feet. At ten miles a day, the thru-hike can be completed in about two weeks — just long enough for the perfect summer vacation. Or make it last a little longer and do the route in a series of weekends.
