[[blank page]] [[end page]] [[start page]] north of Blue Lake, head of Pueblo Creek, & 2 miles S.E. of Wheeler Peak seemed to be about as high so we went to it & found it 13400. Wheeler Peak or Taos Peak, is evidently the highest peak in the range & the highest in New Mexico. It has gentle, mainly grassy slopes & a horse can be ridden to the top & along the whole crest of the range. The Peak to the south of the highest should probably be called Taos Peak as it is the highest one overlooking the lake of the Taos Indians. We hunted the high slopes for Ptarmigan but found none. It rained & hailed while we were on the peaks so we had little chance of finding things. My hands go so cold I could not write plant names in my book. Two large flocks of sheep are herded in the head of Red River canyon on the east side of Wheeler Peak. They were run out of Lucerro Creek canyon by the Indians.
