High Road to Taos: Nambe

Nambe Lake Recreation Area

We began our day on Route 503 with a side trip to the Nambe pueblo to visit a lake and hike along a stream. Buz continued the hike up to a little waterfall while I took some photos in the canyon but he was a bit disappointed to look up and see the wall of a dam as a backdrop for the waterfall. Not the setting we are used to seeing them in in New England or Wisconsin. Obviously the dam is what created the lake above us. It was a pretty walk along the stream and it felt good to get outside for a bit of activity after several days indoors at the workshop.

As we left the lake and pulled over to take a photo of this view, Tim called to wish me a happy Mother's Day. It was wonderful to hear his voice and catch up with what he was up to as we took in this vista!
