A month ago 2 friends and I headed up to northern NM along the Rio Grande river for some camping and fishing fun. Here some pics.

Southern Sangre's overlooking Taos, NM. Wheeler Pk. is in there somewhere at 13,161 ft in elevation. It's the highest peak in the state. Although you can't see it from where we were or the town. These mountains are just east of the Rio Grande and the 800ft deep Taos gorge.

The way home is a beautiful drive with the Jemez mountains in view to the southwest.

And the Truchas peak area just north of Santa Fe to the east.

Nice! What camp ground were you at?:costumed-smiley-007
Not exactly sure which campground it was. I can tell you it was west of Pilar but you probably knew that. It was also right along the river which was nice. Good fishing there.
