I Can See For Mile And Miles

A Hike To Spruce Mountain Lookout...


We took a hike to Spruce Mountain Lookout Sunday.  After parking at the intersection of Spruce Mountain Road (Forest Road 52A) and Watershed Trail 299 (1.6  miles in and 600 feet up from Senator Highway) we made the 4.8 mile round trip on foot.  At 7,700 feet elevation, the change was about 900 feet.  We could see the San Francisco Peaks of course (~80 miles), but also west into Skull Valley and southeast toward Bumble Bee.  

It was a very nice day...
