Summary edit

Description

Wheeler Peak (13,161'), New Mexico's highest mountain, is not easily seen from highways because its summit is so well-screened behind surrounding peaks and ridges. However, there is a stretch of I-25 between Maxwell and Springer in which you CAN see Wheeler Peak and its neighbors.

Old Mike Peak (13,113') is at the left 1/3. The ACTUAL summit of Wheeler Peak is in the dead center of the photo. Mount Walter (13,141') is slightly right of center.

The quality isn't that great, considering that it was taken from a distance of about 50 miles to the east. Click here for a much closer view of Wheeler Peak and its neighbors.

This photo was taken from just on the north side of the off-ramp to NM-58 (I-25 Exit 419), between Maxwell and Springer.
