Ascending to Emory Pass


I was hoping to traverse Emory pass last evening, but after 3 hours of climbing, I was pooped. I found a nice little primitive campsight about 3 miles from the summit. I was out of water, but a french canadian couple was enjoying an adjacent area and were kind enough to share.

When I woke up there was frost on all my clothes that I left to air out. After some coffee and a cereal bar I ascended the last 1200 feet to the pass.

I spent some time enjoying the scenery and began my twelve mile descent to hilsboro, nm.

I was hoping to make it to caballo, nm by 2:00 pm to meet Rich and my mom who were going to show me around albuquerque the next day.
