On our 4th day in Santa Fe we hiked another section of the Winsor and Borrego Trails. I have hike the lower section of the Winsor trail a couple years ago and on this hike I will finish up a portion not done before. We started from FSR 201 and hiked north about .6 miles to where we turned around on the Winsor Trail a few Days ago then headed back along the Winsor to the Borrego Trail and to Tesuque Creek. Easy Trail to follow downhill all the way. We wanted to hike north along the Borrego Trail but couldn't because of a fence marking it as private property. Instead we hiked down to Tesuque Peak and took a break there before heading back. Tesuque Creek was running good.

I have now hiked the Winsor trail middle 9 miles but still have the lower west side and upper East side to Cowles to do. Total of 23 miles. Trail is in good condition but there are a lot of mountain bikers on it, mostly going downhill.

On our second day in Santa Fe we headed back into Santa Fe National Forest and hiked the Borrego-Bear Wallow Loop. The trail head for this hike is on the northern boundary of Hyde Park. The trail head is marked. To make this hike a little more challenging we would add a section of the Winsor Trail that heads up to the Big Tesuque Trail then back track down the Winsor to the junction with the Chamisa trail then return via the Bear Wallow Trail. This would make the hike about 10 miles. Aspen trees were in pockets along the trail in a pine fir forest.

All trails are in excellent condition and signed. Mountain biking appears to be quite popular here. We saw about a dozen hikers/bikers along the trail. The forest is a mix of pine/fir/aspen trees. The aspen along this trail were in full color. Tesuque Creek was running with a light flow. Very scenic hike the whole way and for a 10 mile and almost 2000 feet
