Santa Fe - High Elevation Hike

Sangre de Cristo Mountains – Alamos Vista

The Alamos Vista hike is one of our favorite high elevation adventures in the southern Rockies. It takes trekkers through a magical grove of “quaking” or “trembling” aspen trees. Less traveled than the Aspen Vista trail, enjoy quiet time amongst the aspens, ethereal trees that reproduce through their root system.

The Alamos Vista hike leads you, after a short steep climb, to an open field called Carl’s Meadow. Take a brief respite before continuing to the summit for expansive views of the surrounding mountains and beyond. We do rate this excursion moderately challenging as you will ascend over 1,000 feet in a little over one mile. The aspens and the views, however, make this experience truly special.

In the fall, hike this mountain trail with the aspens in their glorious fall colors. Both the Alamos Vista Trail and Aspen Vista are popular destinations in early to mid-October for locals and visitors.
