We(4 guys) do a backpacking trip at the end of every summer. This ranks as our favorite. It’s a difficult hike from the Santa Fe Ski area via the Windsor trail. We set up camp and then Summit Baldy in the morning. Surreal views from up top including Lake Katherine ( named by Oppenheimer). Of note, firewood is scarce in the Lake Katherine area. On weekdays in off season you’ll have it to yourself.
