Mount Taylor - NM - Winter Route?
Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2012 2:18 pm
I'll be in the Albuquerque area for a few days starting January 19th. I'm not familiar with that area and I'd like to give Mount Taylor a try. I'm wondering what the best route up Taylor is in the winter. Unfortunately, I don't ski but I'll pack my snowshoes as it sounds like there will be plenty of snow on the mountain. I have a feeling the Gooseberry Springs Trail isn't the best way to go when there's snow on the mountain. I've checked out the route the Quadrathlon goes, and I'm wondering if that is a better route to try to follow in the winter. Any suggestions?
