Heading up to Mt. Taylor. Only 18 miles this day. A pretty tough day. Up! Up! Up! Here is a bit of info on this area.    Mt. Taylor is a volcanoe, but hasn't been active for over 1.5 million years. It's so strange that you can still see the lava beds everywhere. Mt. Taylor is located in the Cibola National Forest, which covers more than 1.6 million acres in New Mexico. The mountain is an area of special religious and cultural significance to several Native American communities. Like the Navajo, Acoma, Laguna and Zuni tribes.
