We enjoyed great weather, light traffic, and fantastic company. Worth the long drive (although the scenery on the way was worth the drive alone). After climb out of lake, at 22 miles, we had 3400 ft of elevation gain. Then 12 mile descent back to Jemez Springs. Lunch at new brew pub, Second Alarm Brewhouse, in Jemez Springs was also a high point, thanks especially to our server, Devin. I think this ride is a keeper!
