Keep your eyes open for native flora and fauna while you wander through Wheeler Peak Wilderness Area. That's when you're not being wowed by the beautiful landscapes!

There's a charge to enter this protected natural landscape, which is located in Taos. But there's lots more to explore around these parts than just Wheeler Peak Wilderness Area. Als Run Ski Lift, Lost Lake and Horseshoe Lake are also worth adding to your to-do list.
