Ruidoso Hike - 9/2/2006

Over the labor day weekend my friends rented a cabin in Ruidoso, NM. Being in a mountainous area of course I had to plan a hike. The day after we arrived, a motley crew of 5 (out of ~12) drove up to the top of Ruidoso's ski hill for a little exercise. I'm not sure if anyone really knew what was in store, but I think in the end everyone had fun. It was a little drizzly, ok so really it felt like we were in a cloud. The hike started at around 9840 ft and finished out around 10700 ft. over a distance of 2-3 miles (one way). A respectable distance and elevation for all involved. Most of the hike was uphill, except of course for the return. There are no glourious panoramas from the peak simply because we decided it was time to turn around and the peak was cloud locked.
