"Last Saturday after hiking Mount Taylor I realized that there was another 11K peak about a mile and a half away. If I had of looked at the map a little closer I would have hiked them both at the same time. At the top of Mount Taylor is a great place to camp about 100 feet from the top. I have never camped right on the top of a mountain before, and being that it was nearly a full moon I decided to go up after work on Friday, hike Mount Taylor again, elevation 11,301, then hike La Mosca Lookout Peak, elevation 11,036, then back to Mount Taylor and camp the night. It took me about 2 hours to drive from Albuquerque. From Grants I headed northeast on highway 547 until I came to the second highway 193. (There are two 193 roads. I assume they make a loop.) Highway 193 is a dirt road that you follow east for 5 miles. I had a regular car and the car worked well but I had to take it slow at times. I parked the car at a hiking sign. This is the start of Gooseberry Trail. I started hiking at 3:30 at an elevation of 9300. Just hiking by myself, I knocked 45 minutes off the time that we hiked last Saturday. (See other trip report under Mount Taylor) I made it to the top in an hour and 45 minute..." — Phil-Robinson • Aug 12, 2011
