I would like to do a 2-3 day trip somewhere in New Mexico or southern Colorado this month. I want to avoid snow, but will be equipped to handle it if necessary.
One place I was considering was the Mogollon Baldy Trail in the Gila Wilderness. I might camp at Hummingbird Saddle, weather permitting, and do day hikes from there. I usually hike in the South San Juan Wilderness near Platoro, but I figure it's going to be below freezing and/or snowing there by now.
I have an REI Sub-Kilo sleeping bag, a Tarptents Contrail, Micro Puff jacket and trousers, Marmot Reactor fleece top, Mountain Hardwear Microchill fleece bottom, and Capilene 3 top and bottom. For ground insulation I have a GG Nightlife pad, but could bring a Ridgerest if the Nightlife is insufficient.
I was thinking about getting a Backpacking Light PRO 90 Quilt to use in conjunction with my Micro Puff top and bottom, but maybe that's too risky for November. Any thoughts on this?
