A good friend and his wife are looking for a loop hike in the Santa Fe, NM area in late April. Specifics are below. Any ideas for the hike or weather conditions would be helpful. They are from the east coast.
Thanks
Data points:
路 We will be hiking during the last week of April this year
路 We will have three full days to complete the hike
路 Hiking a loop is a must since we will have only one car
路 There will be two of us, both in shape and one with several hundred miles of hiking experience. The other has about 50.
路 The hike can be up to 25 miles in length
路 Moderate elevation changes are expected but neither person has climbing experience or equipment.
