Serpent Lake Labor Day Backpack 2010

Here is where we are going: Serpent Lake in the Northern Pecos Wilderness, 25 miles south of Taos. The trailhead starts at the end of FS 161 off NM 518 towards Penasco. The turn off to FS 161 is 1.8 miles past Angostura Camp. Round trip distance was 7.4 miles with 1,300 feet elevation.
A closer look of the wind swept lake. The lake is located in Kelly basin and surrounded by a fragile landscape of grasses, shrubs and wildflowers.
Off we go.... From left to right: Markin, Katy, Elisabeth and Jim.
Our photographer, Katy, could not resist a picture of our back sides. We like our comfort and gourmet foods, and do not pack light... Thank you Katy for taking all of these great pictures and letting me use them. (I left my camera at home.)
