Gomez Peak

Gomez Peak is a four mile hike just outside of Silver City, NM with 780 feet of elevation gain. It was a wet, cloudy day after a night of wind and rain. We did not see another soul on this hike.

After coming down the mountain, we had an important task. We were headed to Our Lady of Guadalupe Monastery.

Not for confession but because I had read that it was the only place that roasted coffee in the Silver City area. It was a long and windy gravel road up another mountain, and the place was only open from 11am to noon.

 I found a bag of Brazilian whole beans that had been roasted the day before. 

We might have picked up a few other things at their gift shop.

The bread was freshly baked by the monks that morning, and it tasted amazing.
