Desierto de los Leones
My mountain escape. Pine trails and dirt climbs above 2,600m, cold clean air, a ruined convent to reach on foot. Brutal on the lungs, gorgeous. Go early.
A pine-forest national park in the western mountains with trails, dirt climbs, and an old ex-convent — the real high-altitude trail run near the city.
