Williams Lake, Taos, NM
We took this hike with Sara's mom Gloria. This is a relatively easy hike literally in the shadows of Wheeler Peak. Although it is "easy" it's still 3 miles long and has some steeper stretches (darn moraines) that revealed my lack of acclimation to the elevation (huff huff). Once at the lake we enjoyed lunch and Sara enjoyed flicking the nose of a begging chipmunk. It's also fun to sit at the lake and watch people ascend (or attempt to ascend) the very steep grassy flanks of Wheeler.
