GRAND ENCHANTMENT TRAIL

GET Day 48: Zero Day in Mountainair

ByPurple Haze Posted onMay 17, 2018September 21, 2025

Daily Miles: 0, Total Miles: 662.5

I felt better this morning after a good night’s rest, although some hunger pangs. Headed to Alpine Alley, a nearby cafe and had some eggs, bacon, a waffle and some good coffee. Much better now!

My Mountainair Cabin

I washed my clothes and cleaned my gear – getting ready for the final 100-mile push. The owner of the Inn is taking me to the trailhead tomorrow since he’s heading that way anyways. That’s great – I wanted to get an early start on a big climb.

Looks like possible thunderstorms and rain on a few of my last days on the trail. At this point, it may be a welcome relief. for me and the scorched and thirsty forests.
