MyRudy

After seeing @Mike_W 's triplog, I decided to take a detour on my return to Aztec from Boulder. Wheeler has been on my radar for awhile.
Rudy and I drove down to Taos on Sunday morning and setup a camp in Taos Ski Valley. The weather window looked like it would work for use. There was a 51% chance of rain at 1400. So of course we got wet snow, hail and rain on our decent at 1230. Really nice trail and climb, however this old man really had stiffness and soreness after the hike.
