Saturday Hike to Williams Lake
Andrew, Cody, Aaron, and I just got back from hiking to Williams Lake. The trailhead begins just above the Taos Ski Valley (just over 10,200 feet) and goes straight up for about two miles, ending at Williams Lake (an elevation of over 11,000). It's a little challenging, but fun. I generally don't do well with downhills, but I had poles, so that helped.
We had a picnic at the top and watched a huge, black dog play in the water while two marmots on opposite sides of the shore shrieked out their warnings of him.
The only bad part was that I got a kinda huge blister and, for once, nobody was prepared with a Band-aid. However, the trail was super crowded and we noticed a group of Boy Scouts (who at least claim to always "Be Prepared"), so I asked one of their mom's and she gave me something for my blister. #noshame
