"I’m mostly interested in hiking the tallest 164 peaks in New Mexico, those with an elevation from 10,820 on up to the tallest peak in New Mexico, Wheeler Peak, elevation 13,161. I have 131 so far. The 164 peaks include the highest 102 major peaks, those with a prominence or 300 feet and over, and all the minor peaks in between.

I was planning on hiking with my daughter Christina and her dog Bane, but at the last minute she was not able to come. My hiking buddy Daisy, a wirehair fox terrier, died about a year and half ago and since that time I have acquired 2 wonderful male wirehair fox terriers. They had their first birthday last month.

"Captain hiked El Cerro De Los Lunas. After Phil's dog Daisy, died in the Fall of 2014, he got two wirehaired fox terriers. They were both 1 year old last month. He did not hike with them last year because they were not trusted to stay close. It appears that Captain will be the default peakbagging dog because his brother Major gets car sick." — PhilsDogs • Apr 23, 2016

"I was surprised to actually find a formal trail and open space with park benches but the trail is hard to follow at times and I think it's just one way. I ended up doing some bushwhacking and then road running to loop back to my car." — Brian-Pilgrim • Aug 18, 2014
