Do you feel special? I hope so. ‘Cause you are, and here’s proof: You’re among the very first people to hear about the SF2T thru-hike’s guided trips.
Yep… we’re doing it. Four full-route trips, plus two south half trips.
Here’s the deets:
10 days total. Average of 12.7 miles and 2,700 feet of ascent per day. All trips leave Santa Fe Plaza on a Monday morning and arrive in Taos Plaza the following Wednesday in the late afternoon. Each trip will have nine guests plus two guides. $3,000.

7 days total. Average of 12.6 miles and 2,700 feet of ascent per day. All trips leave Santa Fe Plaza on a Sunday morning and arrive in Santa Barbara Campground the following Saturday in the late afternoon. Each group will have nine guests plus two guides. Trips include shuttle service to either Santa Fe Plaza or Taos Plaza. $2,100.
Includes a two-night, full-day stay at Los Pinos Guest Ranch, where you’ll enjoy great meals, hot water, nice beds, and the opportunity to hang out with the horses, indulge in the library, or fish the Pecos River or Cowles Ponds. There will be enough room to everyone to have their own cabin, assuming we’ve got at least one couple on the trip.

There is a lot more information on the landing page (behind that orange button). But you can also get more information from this pdf of the printed brochure for the hikes.
Please feel 100% free to ask any and every question that you have. Just reply to this email.
I expect to be doing an online information session about these guided hikes, but it won’t be until the second week of March.

That’s it for now. Please do send questions about the guided hikes. There will be training hikes in Santa Fe as well. First invited will be anyone who’s signed up for a guided hike. After that, it’s SF2T members. Then it’s email subscribers.
Cheers,

P.S.: You read to the end, so you deserve a reward. This was Pecos Baldy Lake, circa 2014, in November. The wind kicked up overnight and bent my tent so far down it touched my shoulder. This was taken about 10 minutes before it started snowing at breakfast. My dog and I were the only ones at the lake.
