https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyEX3-McO2k Vallecito Mountain & Lake Fork Peak PART 2 – From south of the Taos Ski Resort we parked in the Williams Lake Parking area. Garret and Phil Robinson hiked 2.6 miles into the Wheeler Peak Wilderness to a waterfall near Williams Lake. The highest peak in New Mexico, Wheeler Peak was the backdrop in this beautiful basin. We peakbagged Lake Fork Peak, elevation 12,881 and Vallecito Peak, elevation 12,643. We backpacked 13.8 miles over 3 days. We had a little bit of cliff climbing and scrambling on all fours. I am doing short videos of the highest
184 peaks in New Mexico in chronological order by date I hiked them.

  1. I love the detail of your videos, you visit many places mamy people never seem to film or post about. Did you see any deer or elk on your hike?
