Oct 08, 2018 — Cabezon Peak is a fairly popular and short scramble northwest of Albuquerque, and it's a lot of fun. From the parking area, follow a great trail to the south side of Cabezon Peak and look for the trail as it turns north and heads up loose Class 2 scree. From here, a Class 3 move takes you to higher ground and to the mouth of a canyon, where the crux of the day waits, a Class 3 move, followed by some low Class 3 scrambling up the gully. The trail continues to be well-defined as you head up the east face of Cabezon Peak and to the summit.
