  2. Mt. Taylor conditions in late May

  5. Cuba - stay over, or pass through?

    I'll be starting north in Grants in late May, and plan on 6 days to Cuba via Mt Taylor. I'll obviously need food, but is Cuba worth stopping in? I saw that there had been an RV park that you...

    Resupply north of Cuba NM

    it looks like the only resupply before Chama is east on I64 to Tres Piedras. Is there any other way to cut down this 150 mile stretch? I dont want to carry 8 days of food.
  16. Just finished the Wonderland Trail

    I did it in 9 days, but it could have been 6. With reserved campsites, you really can use every hour of daylight.

    Good elevation climbs, well done trail, small, nice campsites, and plenty of...
