Re: VFR to Santa Monica from the Farmington NM

Thanks Colin .. what altitude over the mountains/pass would you suggest.
Looks like 10,500 highest peak so 12,500 descending to about 3k on other side?

Also is this a VFR route or IFR or Scenic?

VFR to Santa Monica from the Farmington NM

A little help please ...

Planning a trip direct to SMO from FMN, fuel stop in KIFP before going over mountains at 12,500' VFR

Cross over to KEMT drop to 3000' to stay under LAX floors on into SMO ...
Hopefully direct on RW 21

This should minimize handoffs and avoiding LAX.

Opinions?

Rides to/ from the airport assuming you don’t rent a car - more often than not the FBOs don’t ...
