| We used the instructions from Explore New Mexico: http://www.explorenm.com/hikes/CedroPeak/ for this hike. (I didn't even know SP had a page for this one!) We had amazing weather - and not in the warm, sunny sense. We started off in a cool mist and drizzle. As we neared the top the drizzle turned to rain, but we pressed on. After reaching the top, while we were drinking water and exploring the summit, the rain turned to sleet...then hail (ouch!) and we quickly headed down from the summit. Then the skies opened up with thunder-slush! It was insane. We got back down the mountain as fast as we could through the slush and mud with 3 leashed dogs. My dear husband - so patient with me and my hobby. The poor dogs - covered in ice and snow. I have to take davebobk47's word there are nice views from the summit. All we saw were CLOUDS. Hiking partner: Husband. Pupcicles: Lady, Bing & Lela. |
