Best Times
I’ve found that late fall, winter and early spring are the best times to make this
short hike. Even by March, temperatures can climb into the 90s and higher along
the Rio Grande. If you want to brave the hike in summer, start early and bring
plenty of water—and let someone know where you’re going. Even through late fall,
temperatures can be a factor: I’ve found myself beginning a November hike in the
area when the temperature was 95 degrees. For good lighting, the pastel shades of
sunrise and sunset in winter create peaceful ambience.
