After a leisurely start, we decided to go for a hike near the Santa Fe ski basin on Sunday morning since we hadn't been up there yet. The ski basin is at about 11,000 feet, and the trail started with a 1/2 mile of uphill switchbacks. We could feel the altitude (isn't great to have altitude to blame on being out of breath after a 1/2 mile!). After that the trail fortunately leveled out for a stretch passing through aspen and pine forest. Our destination was a lovely meadow called La Vega from which you could see the peak of Santa Fe baldy, a mountain.
