It was a perfect day in the wilderness with crisp temps in the 50s, wide-open skies, and the soothing sound of the Rio Valdez nearby. This two-day adventure begins at Iron Gate Campground, heading out on the Hamilton Mesa Trail #249 and connecting with the Rio Valdez Trail #224. Along the way, the route delivers incredible views of Santa Fe Baldy, Truchas Peaks, and the rugged high country of the Santa Fe National Forest. From meadows and quiet forest paths to remote campsites, it’s the perfect escape for backpacking, camping, or just soaking in the solitude. 🥾✨

⚠️ Trailhead Access: The road to Iron Gate Campground is rough—about 4 miles of rocky terrain through hidden summer homes. A truck or all-terrain vehicle is strongly recommended. 🚙💨

🐾 Dogs are welcome here too and may be off-leash in some areas!

📌 This video covers Day 2 of the trip, where I return on the Rio Valdez Trail #224 and then climb the Rociada Trail #250 to loop back to Iron Gate Campground.
