South Truchas Summit
From Jack’s Creek: 23 miles RT, 5512 ft of gain, max elevation 13,100 ft.
This one starts at Jack’s Creek trailhead and winds up through aspen and pine forests, open meadows, a burn section, across trail rider’s wall where the big horn sheep hang out, to Truchas. Summiting requires 2+ class scrambling so you should be comfortable maneuvering around boulders and rocks and avoiding cliffs. South Truchas is the second highest peak in New Mexico.
