Lake Peak at 12,350 feet

The lake you see down below is Nambe Lake which I hiked to a few weekends ago. This last weekend I went to this peak above it which summits at 12,350 feet above sea level. This was a beautiful trail and tough challenge that I was grateful to try out before hiking season comes to an end with the snows. Even made a chipmunk friend while I was resting at the peak. #hiking #newmexico #outdoors #outdoorslifestyle #mountains
