| no partners | | I took a road trip to Mount Taylor just north of Grants, NM to take in what should be the first of the four sacred peaks for the Navajo that I'll summit this summer. I'll hit Humphrey again this June, and then its off to Colorado to do Hesperus and Blanca in late July. The only one I haven't already done is Hesperus, but I want to get them all this summer.
Unless you share my arbitrary goal of hiking all the sacred Peaks, its probably not worth making a special trip to Grants to hike Mt Taylor. If you are passing by, it is a great scenic hike that is really easy. The trail is gentle and the views from the top are about a 270 degree version of what you get from Humphrey. Situated in a rural area of New Mexico there isn't much visitation to Taylor outside the hunting season, and there is some pleasant back country camping near the trailhead. This definetly made a really nice weekend get away for me. |
