Still haven't made it to the highest point in New Mexico? Join us for a
hike to Wheeler Peak!
The Williams Lake trail to the summit is approximately 7 miles round
trip and is a steep switchback class 2 trail. Total elevation gain of 2,970
ft; highest elevation 13,161 ft. Moderate pace. We expect to start out on
snowshoes, and will finish the peak hiking (with microspikes/yak-traks).
Limit of 12 hikers. One or two dogs ok, must have leash.
This 6 mile hike is #42 in the Sierra Club book on Day Hikes in the Santa Fe area.
The Ojito Wilderness was established in 2005 and is just west of San Ysidro. The area has beatiful high desert scenery with views of Cabezon and the Red Mesa cliffs.
This is an off-trail hike, estimated to take 6 hours to complete. There is no trail - it is a cross country hike over rough terrain. The guidebook provides 20 waypoints for the round trip hike. I'll send out the waypoints prior to the hike, so that participants can load them into their GPS ahead of time.
Who's up for a quick trip to Wolf Creek this weekend? Drive up Friday leaving Los Alamos late afternoon, stay at a motel and hit the hot springs, ski on Saturday and drive back home. What's not to like about a 110" base? Colorado has all of our snow, so let's go make us of it. If interested, contact Bill at bill@priedhorsky.net.
The Santa Fe Conservation Trust and The Lensic are proud to host the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour 2014. Presented with local support from KBAC/Hutton Broadcasting, Premier Subaru of Santa Fe, and Santa Fe Prep.
