| Shavano/Tabeguache |
We got to the trailhead at about 800p on Friday night. There is no camping right at the old blank cabin trailhead, but there are plenty of areas to camp around. There were a total of about 12 cars parked around the camping areas, so there wasn't an issue finding a place. We decided to hit the trail at 3am. The trail was easily marked, so during the first 3 hours we did not have an issue staying on the trail. We didn't run into anybody on the way up. We were the first ones to summit Shavano. We reached the summit at 630a. The 3 1/2 hours up was at a steady pace with a few breaks included. The approach to the summit was super windy and very miserable. As we were on the summit, only one other individual approached. The standard trail up to the summit is tough to follow. It looks like many just find their way to the top. After about 45 minutes on the summit, we moved over to Tabeguache. We left at 715am and summited Tabeguache at 805am. There was no snow around Shavano, but Tabeguache still has a bunch near the summit. The accent up Tabeguache is steep and again, the path is somewhat weak. Though it is steep, we found that the summit approached us quickly. Not a bad hike at all, and well worth it to do both. We left Tabeguache at 830am and summited Shavano again at 915am. By this time, individuals were starting to show up. I would guess there were about 30 people at or around the summit and on the way down we passed another 30 or so. At 930am we headed back to the trailhead and got back at 1130am. I will say, I picked up the pace coming down, just because the day was long enough and I just wanted to get out of my boots!
