Nogal Peak, NM

Photo Essay

These pictures were taken on various trips to the crest trail near Nogal Peak, New Mexico. Located just north of Ruidoso, NM in the White Mountain Wilderness / Lincoln National Forest (home of Smokey Bear and Billy the Kid), this area is a favorite of mine. The OKC Sierra Club will be taking a trip there over Memorial Day Weekend, 2000. While some of these pictures were taken in the Spring, some show the leaves changing color in the fall.
