Walk Like a Snowshoer

❄️😏🥾

Snow far, snow good! Ready to step into deep time and fresh snow with @mountainskillsguides? We did yesterday!

135 million years ago, a massive geologic uplift created the Sangre de Cristo Mountains—a rugged spine that still defines northern New Mexico. At the crown stands our very own Wheeler Peak (13,161 ft), the highest point in the state presiding over TSV. Enjoy the wild heart of the Wheeler Peak Wilderness by snowshoeing the William’s Lake trail, routing you through the Carson National forest toward frozen lakes and dramatic ridgelines. Williams Lake is a perfect winter objective—and even better with a guide!

❄️ Half-day & full-day snowshoe trips
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Adults & kids welcome
📍 Local knowledge, winter safety & storytelling included

Whether you’re learning winter travel skills or introducing kids to alpine wilderness, these guided snowshoe trips turn deep history and wild landscapes into an unforgettable experience. And you may even spot some wildlife along the way! ⛷️😉

Snowshoe Smart 🧤
✔️ Dress in layers + waterproof shell
✔️ Non-cotton wool socks
✔️ Insulated winter boots (snowboard boots work!)
✔️ Daypack, water, snacks & hot cocoa ☕
✔️ Sunglasses + SPF 50 sunscreen

They’ll provide the rest! 👉 Book your adventure at climbingschoolusa.com/snowshoe-taos/ through 🔗 in Story!
