"Sorry for the long trip report. This is a victory trip report!
My goal has been reached! In the summer of 2005, I set out to hike all the highest 184 mountain peaks in New Mexico. My goal kept expanding to include the highest 102 major mountain peaks in New Mexico, all the thirteen and twelve-thousand-foot peaks (83), all the eleven-thousand-foot peaks (75) and all the upper ten-thousand-foot peaks (26). After 16 years I reached my goal on September 18, 2021 at 3:40 PM, hiking Mount Phillips on Philmont Scout land!! New Mexico and I have the same birthday, a kindred spirit. I know this quest has not been done in the history of New Mexico and I am in awe to have seen this state’s gorgeous high country from almost every angle. To share this state’s beautiful high country with others, I have taken over 25,000 pictures, logged trip reports and GPS treks, many times showing the way not to go. (I have over 100 other peaks that were not part of this goal.)

My Final Four Story…………
About 10 years ago I had all 5 of the Philmont peaks planned out. I was going to come in from the Cimarron highway, hike Toby peak, then the 5 on Philmont land and spend 2 nights out. ..." — Phil-Robinson • Sep 18, 2021
