We trundled up the road a bit, but the rain drove us out. I explored a bit on the East side of I-25, but the rains had made the dirt roads impassable. Next time.
A well written trail guide to the Apache Kid Trail from Springtime Canyon to San Mateo Peak is on New Mexico Meanders blogpost of 2014-10-18.
A good overview of the trails in the San Mateo Mountains can be pull up from:

There is good hiking up there! Bring along maps, since some of the trails are only occasionally visited. Thanks for the very kind link to the Meanders site,
