Mom and Dad covered their ears. But the kids didn't. Thanks a lot. 😅 Just kidding. Cool hike, Nate. I love that you share a lot of info about the history of the mountains you hike.
Unfortunately, the combination of being out of breath and having pumping adrenaline means I can rarely get the words out properly on the top of a mountain, haha!
Just discovered your channel through a video Hiking With Jackie Boy channel shared. This looks like an epic hike! That was an interesting story about the other hiker not wanting to get his boots wet in the snow. Going to subscribe to your channel. I post hiking and outdoor content on my channel too.
Yeah sometimes that emotion chip rears it’s head and you can’t hold it back. Has happened to me many times. I guess that’s why I do it really. Thanks for this offering. Really enjoyed it
Cool video Nate. Thanks for taking us along. You ever been down to Elkballs Canyon, down at the base of Huge Weenie Falls? Haha!! Thanks for the laugh on that peak name I've never heard of until now. Cheers!!
Thank you for filming your trek up Corazon Hill--this brings back many, many memories as my father once purchased Corazon Ranch in the 1980's and I often visited the ranch on holidays. Climbing Corazon was sort of a right of passage for my friends who often visited with me to work cattle and explore the entire ranch. Did you find the USGS benchmark? It's there. I also recall an old, dilapidated 6' cross made of old barn wood that was erected with bailing wire and another odd wooden stand of some kind. I have many photos of the area, including Corazon Cemetary which is located SW of Corazon Hill above "The Canyon" which was also part of the ranch. Various ruins made of rock with dated cornerstones can be found about the area and were always a treat to stumble upon. Thanks again for this wonderful memory.
@@CARTERFCLAY thank you for that story! I love to hear that a video like this reached someone like you who has a real connection to this place. I seem to remember finding the benchmark. I’d have to look through my photos and videos to be sure, but I’m pretty sure I did. I do remember seeing what looked like the remains of some kind of wooden support structure. I assumed it was the remains of a survey tripod. I don’t remember seeing a cross, and I probably would have filmed it had I seen it.
Wow! That was awesome! At first I was a little confused because I had no idea there was another Redondo Peak. Have you done a video of the other Redondo? I love these hiking videos.
@@colonypainting711 I have hiked Redondo Peak in the Jemez, but legally, you need to acquire a permit (impossible to get, I’ve heard) to hike it. The rules are constantly changing, and there is no public input or accountability, but the NPS has made it clear they don’t want you climbing the peak because it is considered sacred. I do have a beer review from several years ago (Walter’s Green Chile Beer) from the climb, but I did not include any clips above the 10,000’ mark.
Awesome video! The views were amazing up there along with the clouds drifting by. It is so cool to see snow in the hottest part of the year up in the mountains. It really shows how much of a difference it is at this elevation.
I had definitely heard some hype about the view from this peak, and it did not disappoint. This video was filmed in late-ish June, but certainly that lingering snow is a good sign!
The Pecos Wilderness is so dang beautiful, it'll bring a tear to a grown man's eye. Watching clouds roll over the crest @8:20 reminded me of those motion waterfall pictures in the 90s that everyone had. If you will make one of those with that view- I'll take one for my wall, please 😄
I couldn’t believe when the clouds started pouring over the ridge between Redondo and Baldy. Before and after that shot, that was not happening. It was a surreal sight to see!
I’ve had great burgers all over the country from Maine to California, and one of absolute best in your neck of the desert is the Mad Chile Burger at the Mine Shaft Tavern in Madrid.
@@jeffcallahan6710 I’ve been to Mine Shaft a few times, but I don’t think I’ve ever tried the burger. I keep hearing about it, so I’ll have to try it soon!
Congrats on your new 4Runner. A ding that happens while you are out on a adventure is a memory dent. I have several on my truck. The view from the summit was nice! A bit hazy but worth it regardless. I was eating lunch while watching this video and what i has was good, but no where near the food presentation you displayed. I have heard many great stories about the tumbleweed in Magdalena. Next time I am in the area I will have to drop by for a burger. Great video buddy.
I’m here in NC. Grew several varieties of Hatch chili peppers this summer. Now ya got me wanting a home grilled green chili burger and a return trip to New Mexico. Specifically I intend to check out Ute Mountain. Really enjoyed that video of yours awhile back.
I just roasted up some chiles last weekend and did the same! At least in North Carolina you have access to some pretty good pimiento cheese burgers and Carolina-style burgers to tide you over ;)
Sweet new ride! I bet it will handle those I-10 speed limits better than the Cherokee 😂. It's too early for lunch but you've got my tummy growling! Tumbleweeds looked really good. Love the Zia charred bun at Oso.
It depends if I have a head wind or a tail wind ;) Tumbleweeds was amazing, and the Zia char probably helped propel Oso into the top 7 for the in-person competition!
Hi Nate, the views looked pretty awesome from the first peak. I like the shot north to Blanca. Too bad you couldn't stay too long to enjoy them. It's nice that you have that type of terrain pretty close to home in NM though.
I love the Latirs. I'm hoping to get back in the area one or two more times this year, and hopefully the weather cooperates better. Thanks for watching!
@@OneMansOdyssey I live a bit east of NM so don’t get there as often as I should but have done several of the higher peaks in the northern half. Really appreciating/enjoying watching you explore the less visited mountains.
What an amazing view from the top. I have had this on my to go list before and I have never done it for the reason you went through which was all the bushwhacking. I couldn't really tell, but did you go up by the fence line right at the Isleta boundary? Way to go man!
Thank you, my friend, for sharing your experience . . . and introducing me to the Sabinosa. I'm thinking of packing it myself. As of now, July '24, the BLM describes approaching Sabinosa thusly: "From I-25 take exit 345 on to NM104 heading east. Travel 32.7 miles east to Trujillo, NM. Turn left on to San Miguel County Road C51A at Trujillo and travel east for approximately 7 miles on an improved dirt road. Follow BLM directional signs by turning left at the Y and heading north for 3 miles on the lightly maintained route to the Sabinoso Wilderness parking area. This road is not passable when wet. Please leave gates as you find them." Was this your approach, as near as you can tell? Maybe it's the ONLY approach. Meanwhile, I have a Subaru Forester. It looks like the vehicle that was parked next to yours. As you can see, the BLM describes the dirt road as "improved." Any reason why my Forester couldn't handle that dirt road, except perhaps if the road is mud? (Yes, my biggest concern: summer rains on a dirt road.) In any event, thank you again. Happy trails! Phil Davis, Albuquerque
That was my approach. You are right that that is basically the only approach. There is another access point that is not listed on the BLM website, but is official. However, you would have to call the BLM field office for info on that. I would recommend calling them anyway, since, as you know, we have gotten a ton of rain recently, and it's possible some roads are not in good shape. However, if this is not the case, you could easily drive this road in a Subaru Forester.
It’s been 4 years, so my memory is a little fuzzy, but I remember the main road (FR 87) being pretty good quality. The cutoff to the “trailhead” (FR 572) is definitely a high clearance road, as I recall.
Getting spooked by critters in the woods, scrambling & bushwhacking, & an amazing view to cap it off. What a hike! I have to make my way up to the Manzanos. Enjoyed the video, amigo!
What's up, Nate! Another great beerview!! IPA's are definitely an acquired taste! Not my favor favorite! Haha! Great videography as well with the water shots! Cheers to the next one!
Camomille tea is a really good descriptor for the finish of a hefeweizen. I can definitely say I've gotten that before on them now that I think about it. The views from that peak are incredible.
Incredible views from the summit. This part of NM sure is pretty and much more different than it's counter half Northern NM. I look forward to watching the other hikes you will take in this area. They uses to have towers open with a visitor log to sign. It seems anymore that they are now off limits and all padlocked.
There are still a ton of hikes I'd love to do in this region. Unfortunately, aside from the bootheel, its the farthest away region in New Mexico for me!
Southwest New Mexico is the most beautiful country there is. I spent a lot of time out there. Love these videos reminds me of my time I spent there from 2014-2022.
