Strawberry Peak Route

Strawberry Peak is a rugged dome on the Socorro skyline. As Socorro Peak (M Mountain) is within the EMRTC secure area, this is the nearest peak to Socorro that is on public land which makes it an attractive destination. This recommended route follows the Socorro SingleTrack for approximately 4 miles before traversing cross-country through BLM-managed lands for the 3-mile summit approach.After the maintained singletrack, the route drops into Nogal Arroyo before starting the ascent. Most hikers chose a southern or eastern approach to the summit. The final ascent is very steep and loose, and only recommended for very experienced and fit hikers. Pack plenty of water and be well prepared for this 14-mile hike.
