An extremely challenging, eight to ten mile hike (one way).
Reviewed By 2gonesomewhere - Marathon, United States
New Mexico's highest peak at 13167 (13161?13159? anyway it's the tallest). Shortest trail is up the Williams Lake side - about 1/4 mile before the lake hang a left. Well marked. I measured about 9.5 miles round trip from trail head at Williams Lake parking area, including a short detour to Mt. Walter which shares saddle to Wheeler and as second highest (13141) should easily be honored with a visit. Great views of Williams Lake area, and Red River area on the other side. Another trail leaves from the Taos Ski Valley parking lot and is much longer via Bull-of-the Woods Trail. This is a nice hike too - we went part way to visit Fraser (Frazer) Mountain at 12163'. Nice hike too, bighorns around. If you go to Wheeler this way it is more like 13-14 miles round trip.

Best time! This was my first time snowmobiling, husband's third. I had a Blast! I was a tiny bit nervous driving my own snowmobile but it went away quickly as soon as we got started. I was behind the guide, Tim, who is friendly and fun. We took the first morning ride. He got a feel for our group and off we went. It was like riding through a winter wonderland; snow covered trees, fun trails and So fun going up the fresh trails. I felt like we went fast enough, so we really enjoyed that. Top of the mountain was gorgeous, took pics and the ride down was exhilarating!!! I can see how some would feel as if it's hard for the little ones bc it is very cold, and hard for children to handle, so maybe consider doing this with teens. We did the 2 hour trip, which is long enough and brought a thermos of cocoa along, as well. We will do this again bc it was SO fun! Thank you Tim for making it a great experience.
