Serenity and Exhilaration at Eagle Nest
As we overfly Taos, New Mexico, we are presented with a clear view of Eagle Nest Lake. Nestled in high terrain east of Wheeler Peak, the lake appears as a carefully sculpted bowl that serves as a magnet for our perspective just as it draws water from the surrounding slopes into its heart. The village of Eagle Lake lies on its northern shore and seems an idyllic vantage point to experience the exhilaration of the surrounding peaks and the serenity of the lake’s glassy surface.
