Aspen Vista Hike

Overview

Seeking cooler temperatures, we headed for higher elevation - the Sangre de Christo mountains and the Aspen Vista trail. We began at nearly 10,000 feet; 'tis a steady climb up 3.4 miles to 11,300 feet. Air temperature was much cooler than in Albuquerque or even Santa Fe (well above 90 there); more like upper 70s
