"I left the house at 5:00 AM, June 10, 2013 with my dog Daisy to hike 2 peaks in Northern New Mexico. The first peak was Green Mountain, elevation 11,165 and the second peak Agua Fria, elevation 11,078. You can drive to the top of Green Mountain, but I like to try to get in at least 3 miles on a peak. From Eagle Nest head east into Cimarron Canyon by way of highway 64. As soon as you are in the canyon the road makes a big switchback. On the north end are 2 dirt roads together, veer to the one to the right and head up the mountain. I have been up in this area before and the road has improved some, but still looks like it needs a 4WD. I stopped the car on the road when the GPS said 1.1 miles to the peak and the elevation was 10,150. It was a perfect temperature as I started hiking at 9:00 AM, not too cool and not too warm. The road switch backed so the hike ended up being 2.2 miles and it only took 52 minutes. The top is covered with antennas. I took a few pictures and headed down. The entire hike followed the road. I arrived back at the SUV after hiking a total of 4.5 miles in a little less than 2 hours total time.
It was now 11:00 AM. I got packed up and headed to Agua Fria Peak..." — Phil-Robinson • Jun 10, 2013
