I am planning on leading an outing to the top of Mt Taylor on Friday. The total mileage is 12 miles if we follow the route described by Sam Beard in his book Ski Touring in Northern New Mexico. We may end up taking part of the route that is used in the Quad. The actual mileage will depend on how far we can drive up NM-547. This outing is rated as a Class II-III. You will need skins for this outing. We will meet in Grants at 8:30 and caravan from there. Any suggestions on where to meet in Grants are appreciated? If you have a 2-way radio please bring it. Please let me know if you are planning to come. You can reach me either at petermarks10@aol.com or 505-414-3005.
