Nambe Lake, Santa Fe National Forest

We hiked up to Nambe Lake with our friends Katy and Marlin on July 11, after going to the Santa Fe Opera the night before. The hike starts at the Santa Fe Ski Basin and follows Windsor trail for about 2 miles until the turn off to Nambe Lake. The round trip hike is about 7 miles. Note the cattle grazing in the background.
The alpine lake is located at the feet of Lake and Penitente Peaks.
You don't have to go to Colorado for waterfalls. There are plenty in New Mexico also.
