Best hikes in New Mexico
Let me tell you, New Mexico is SO underrated. I took 6 months and traveled all over the state to experience as many hikes as possible. Who knew NM had beautiful pine trees, rivers, and yes, snowy peaks. If you're looking for moderate to hard hikes, between 3 to 12 miles, some with a decent amount of elevation gain (900' to 2000'), take a look at this board.
