I had to reschedule this trip as I got sick.

Weather permitting, we’ll head out Saturday, September 1st (12 noon) to the north side of Wheeler Peak, close to Red River. We hike up to Horseshoe Lake, set up camp, and spend Saturday exploring the ridge. We'll return to camp, spend another gorgeous night at the lake and head down Monday am, with an expected return time to Los Alamos by 3 pm.

If the weather looks too rainy/T-stormy, I’ll cancel or pick an alternate location. Horseshoe Lake is above timberline and exposed. 

Interested participants please communicate via email/phone for final trip plan.
