Yesterday was soak-in-the-hot-tub evening at Ten Thousand Waves, half way up the ski mountain. We had a reservation at 7pm and checked out an hour later. The guy at the register told us that there was a motorcycle accident just down the mountain and that the only road into town would be closed for several hours. We tried our luck and drove down Hyde Park Road and, sure enough, a minute later we were at the end of a long line of cars.

The prospect of sitting there for a few hours with nothing to do did not resonate well with Oakley and me. Luckily we remembered Upper Pacheco Canyon Road. That’s the only other way down the mountain if Hyde Park Road is closed. We turned around and drove up the mountain. Just before hitting the ski area, there’s a turn-off to the left and a slightly bumpy road will bring down towards Tesuque where you get dumped onto 592.
