"After completing my last hike, climbing the Jicarita peaks in the Pecos Wilderness, cumulating with the final peak, Little Jicarita Peak East, I finally hiked all of the 12 thousand and 13 thousand foot peaks in New Mexico…………….that are possible………. or so I thought. When I returned someone added South Penitente Peak, elevation 12,110, to the list & I am adding Peak 12027 which was mentioned in a great, recently published book, “The High Peaks of New Mexico.” I decided to hike these peaks and an 11 thousand foot peak that I needed, Peak 11385. In the process I had to hike quite a few repeat peaks. Just a note - there are 3, 12K peaks that are not possible to hike in New Mexico. They are on the Taos Indian reservation. I recently made a 3 night trip to Taos with my wife and talked to many people seeing if I could pay for a guide to hike those peaks and did not have any luck. The peaks are restricted to Taos Pueblo members and someone would have to be a disrespectful sneak, risking jail and being shot at to hike them. My son and I were shot at just hiking on the edge of the National Forest and their land. They did finally give us permission for the edge peaks.
