Itinerary description

Notice:
This road would be great with two cars, one at Vista Point (Emory pass) and the other in the small town of Kingston. In my case, my family. Down with the backpacks and I run back up to the car.
Description:
We start the route at Vista Point, a strategic place to admire the landscape of the decaying towns, Hillsboro and Kingston. We park and go back towards the main road where the start of the route is located. The road has been redone after the 2013 fire. Great job by the Rangers for trying to rehabilitate this road. The path does justice to its name and as you go down, you have a fabulous view of the mountains and the valley. The road shows that it is not very frequented but it can be practically followed except for two things. The first is that there are a few trees that have fallen down this winter and interrupt the path, but they can get around or jump quite well. The second is that halfway, one of the burned areas, the trail is lost a bit (the only point, the rest is still great) but following forward or with the GPS, you take the path again with all tranquility. You can see wild animals like deer and if not, trace them like black bear poo. We don't come across anyone. Although much of the surroundings are burned, it is well worth spending the day visiting this area of New Mexico.
