"My wife and I rented a home on the river in the little alpine resort town of Red River, New Mexico for 3 days over Labor Day weekend. I left the home at 6:15 AM on Sunday, September 4, 2016 to hike 2 peaks north of town. From Red River I took Mallette Road north. The first couple of miles it is a nice dirt road, then abruptly it turns into a very, very tough 4WD road. It is about 7 miles to the parking place, but on the tough dirt road it took over an hour to get there. Along the way I saw a mother elk with calf. I parked southeast of Greenie Peak and west of my first goal, Peak 11,033. As you drive from Red River to the parking place you have to be careful to follow the little green triangles to get near Greenie Peak. The GPS tried to take me on a route that is no longer in existence. My parking place coordinates were N 36 45.384 - W 105 22.017. Another issue driving the road were deep water holes from the rain. In one hole, my vehicle sunk deep and steam started coming from the engine, but Land Cruisers are tough and will go just about anywhere. Beware of what you drive on this road especially during rainy season! I started hiking at 7:22 AM at an elevation of about 10,875 fee..." — Phil-Robinson • Sep 4, 2016
