Trail Overview

Slope to Slope will connect the Angel Fire Ski Resort to the Sipapu Ski Resort with 30 miles of an enjoyable drive . Both units have year round activities. Developed camping is available on the southern end of the route, while primitive dispersed camping is plentiful along the high elevations of the route. Huero Lake is a nice little side shoot if you choose. Snow can close this route very quickly and large drifts and slides keep it closed past the normal thaw. The northern section of the road is rocky with many pine trees, keeping the view hidden until elevation is found, then every other turn allows the views of mountains and draws to be taken in.

Came from Sipapu side and back to our dispersed campsite very near the Angel Fire end. Many standing pools of water from recent rains. Some very rocky sections.

Hit the trail from 434 on the Angel fire side, quickly ran into downed trees and moved them out of the way. Halfway we had a large tree that we cut down and tossed over the side. Aside from that it's clear and in proper condition. Snow melt has led to lots of water flowing down over the road and routing out some rough patches. Raptor and trailer approved! A++
