Hiking it will take a while, but the views are spectacular. I prefer to ride it. Not only can you see the views, and enjoy the fresh air, but as i age, hiking it becomes less and option.

What a beautiful mountain and spectacular views in all directions. Great hiking as well. The air is fantastic up there and nature is at it's best.
This made for a wonderful hike in teh summer months, unfortunetly we were hiking because our four wheeler broke down half way up the trail. We were pushing it down. BUT the jeep tour we got up that mountain was absolutely amazing, but boy do those locals drive like maniacs. i though we were going to fly off the cliff....

Gorgeous views. It is a must see for everyone. I believe this is the area that also had campgrounds. If I remember correctly I want to take my RV there.
There is a great new trail up to Wheeler Peak from the William's Lake Trail. It makes it a much shorter trip but goes pretty close to straight up. I like to go up this trail and down the old trail via the Bowl of the Woods but you may nee a shuttle at the end.
Great hike to highest point in New Mexico, not a difficult hike but about 9 miles long. Use caution in July and August as summer thunder storms can pop up with dangerous lightning and you don't want to get caught above treeline in a storm. Wonderful views of NM at the top!
You will definatly need a 4-wheel drive for this little excursion, but the trip is the fun part. Once at the peak prepare your self for one of the most amazing views on Earth.
Our trip to Red River took us around Wheeler Peak, the highest peak in NM at 13,161. God's country! If you love the mountains, take the drive they call the Enchanted Circle.
Amazing views!! The hike is easier up Bull of the Woods trail. Start early so you'll be heading back down by 1pm -- when the clouds roll in
We rented a jeep and drove up to checkout the sweet view from the top.Trail is a little bumpy but hey that's half the fun.
