"After climbing Guadalupe Peak, TX and Black Mesa, OK the last 2 days, today we made our way up to Wherler Peak via Bull-of-the-Woods trail. We made quick stops at BOTW Peak, Fraser Mountain & Walter Peak along the way. Took the Williams Lake trail down (with some perfect glissading). " — Kevin • Jun 4, 2017

"Made the trip from Las Vegas, NV with 10 other friends from the Hiking Las Vegas hiking group, with the single objective of summitting New Mexico's highest peak, Wheeler. We took the Bull-of-the-Woods trail up, stopping at Bull-of-the-Woods Peak, Fraser Peak & Walter Peak on the way. It was an early season ascent & we did encounter quite a bit of snow on the way up, but nothing too difficult to cross. After Wheeler, we descended via Williams Lake Trail, but 1/2 way down the switchbacks, we encountered a LOT of really deep snow that went all the way down to the bottom. We decided to turn lemons into lemonade & had an impromptu butt-sliding session all the way to the bottom! It was definitely the quickest & funnest descent I've done! After that was the long slog back to our vehicles. What an amazing day! This was my 4th state high point in the last 4 years. Loved it! This is one of the best hikes I've done!" — Kevin • May 4, 2013

"In the morning I hiked Peak 12012 - See Peak 12012 trip log I got in the car and drove to the Taos Ski Valley parking area and started to hike at 12:00 PM on the Twining trail. Near the start of the trail I saw my third heard of rams. My goal was to hike Bull of the Woods Mountain which has an elevation of 11,640 feet. I was not interested in hiking any 11K peaks in New Mexico until this year and have just started hiking them. After finishing all the New Mexico 13K peaks and only having 17 more 12K peaks to hike, I decided, so that I would have a rich field of peaks to hike, that I had better start hiking some of the 11K peaks. The hike was a combination of a beautiful trail and an unused service road near a rushing stream. The starting elevation is 9,490 feet. I hiked for 2 hours and 15 minutes and reached the peak after hiking 3.5 miles. The top of the peak is an old mine with very interesting rocks that have been turned up. I picked up a number of turquoise rocks. Again the views were spectacular! I don’t think I could have picked a better day to hike. Usually in August the clouds appear in the afternoon, but this time it was a perfectly clear day all day, cool and with littl..." — Phil-Robinson • Aug 8, 2011
