On our hike to
Nambe Lake we were blessed with a beautiful sunny day and a lot of
snow. On the Winsor Trail there was a good track, but
snowshoes were necessary after the fence marking the boundary of the
Pecos Wilderness. The most challenging part was the trail
leaving the Winsor Trail and climbing up to Nambe Lake; the snow was
very deep and the trail blazing was a lot of work. It took us
three hours to reach the lake, where we found a nice spot to eat and
enjoy the sun. The descent toward the Winsor trail in deep
snow was pure fun!
