From June 15-27th, I will be traveling to New Mexico and Colorado, with a possible trip into the extreme western side of Kansas. This trip is meant to satisfy the explorer and conqueror in me. I would love to have travel companions along the way too!
June 15: Drive from Prescott to Taos NM
June 16: Start of the climb up Wheeler Peak, NM. This 13,161 foot tall mountain is a 6.2 mile climb with 3,250' of elevation gain. As a "High Point", it is the eighth tallest in the 50 states, and ranked 12 for difficulty.
June 17: Drive from Wheelers to Oklahoma, and the remote Black Mesa area, where is will make the quick scramble up to Oklahoma's high point (4,973). Camp somewhere in the area, or find other interesting things to explore.
June 18: Drive through the Cimarron Grasslands north to Mount Sunflower, Kansas (4,039) for the quick check off the list. Head back into Colorado on I70 to 86, and search for a remote spot to camp. Hopefully in the mountains a bit.
June 19: Into Colorado Springs, where I will be attending a Higher Education Technology Conference for the 19th, 20th, 21st and 22nd. Drive to the Denver area late the night of the 22nd.
June 23: Visit Slee Off-Road and hopefully my buds from Pangaea.
June 24: Trail Day in CO :jumping: Something moderately challenging and scenic
June 25: Drive to Mount Elbert and check out Leadville. On up to Lilly Pond via 4wd track and make base camp.
June 26: Wake early and make a quick assault on the mountain, climbing the nearly 5,000 vertical feet to the summit. Back to camp and probably head into Leadville for a good meal and motel.
June 27: Drive back to Prescott
