Highpoint #26 NM Wheeler Peak 13,161 ft. Rank #8

Today we climbed the Williams Lake Trail to Williams Lake. We then hiked the toughest .9 miles of our hiking career. 2,000 feet of elevation gain in the .9 mile. The summit trail was steep and loose rocks. The saving grace of this hike was the wildlife. We left the car at 6am and returned at 12:30 pm. This is our highest highpoint to date... until tomorrow.
