Geocache Description:

Web-ling #45
A log-only cache on the summit of Wheeler Peak, the highest point in New Mexico.

At 13,161 feet, Wheeler Peak is the highest point in New Mexico. I hiked to the summit from the Taos Ski area via Bull-of-the-Woods meadow, about a 14 mile round trip with nearly 5,000 feet of climb. A shorter, but steeper, approach is via Williams Lake.

This is a log-only cache. Just sign the existing summit register. Please mention your geocaching nickname and Geocaching.com in your log entry.

Please, no "retroactive" finds from before this cache was created.
