Southern NM Quick Trip: Capitan Mnts

[NM Frontier]

Some times all it takes is to take off down the road for a night. Just a few pics from driving around the back yard, found some snow, drove some new roads and just enjoyed the weekend.

Starting the road to the top.

View of Sierra Blanca on the way to the top of the Capitans.

Getting into some snow.

Spot for the night.

Quick pit stop.

Got to watch those trees...

Old Forest Service barn, new truck, dog driving.

All and all a good time with-in just a couple of hours from home.

Thanks for this... looks like it'll likely be a great overnight stopover on my next meandering trip to the Santa Fe area, so I appreciate the tip.

Your trip proves you don't have to drive all over the earth to find a good time/spot.
Thanks for the pics.
We tend to push ourselves for longer trips,which are great but we also enjoy the close to home short ones.

^Thanks, it's funny how much you can find close to home when you stop driving by it all the time.

Cool TR!
Quick overnighters are always a great way to use our campers.

Thanks for the report. I always enjoy seeing where other folks are camping in NM.
