This is a great trail which can be found at the top of the Ski Santa Fe parking lots. It is 15-20 degrees cooler than town in the Summer and most of the time one is shaded by the tall pines. It is alo great for snow shoeing in the Winter. It does start out at about 10,000 feet. Last weekend it was 28 degrees and it was lightly snowing.
I hiked up to Santa Fe Baldy a few years ago, and fed the Bighorn Sheep which wandered up to us-peanuts out of our hands. Now maybe this was less than what pristine experts recommend, but what a cool experience to see these animals up so close. You also have the natural Truchas lakes to fish, very placid.
Wonderful hike and views, may see elk and deer, there are mountain lion and bobcat and bear around, lots of history with this trail thru the aspens and above treeline
