 Peaks, under [22:53]. 



For the height of the two peaks as subsequently' determined by 

 the United States Geological Survey, see page 348. 



The trail to Spirit Lake [22:unlocated] follows a charming little stream ten 

 miles through the woods, up an appropriate canon, to where the little lake lies 

 hidden away in the woods, surrounded liy high rook walls, some 11,000 feet 

 above sea level. A few miles beyond the white sign which points to Spirit 

 Lake, the trail emerges from the trees into an open glade. On the right is 

 Santa Fe Baldy [22:.53], 12,623 feet above the sea, snowcapped the greater 

 part of the year; on the left, but a little lower, is Lake Peak, a crater long 

 burnt out, which now holds the Crystal Lakes [22;unlocated], the sources of 

 the Santa Fe and Nambee Rivers. Far below, between the peaks, lies the 

 Rio Grande Valley, through which the Rio Grande River is traceable to its 

 very source by its fringe of trees.' 



As is stated above, Lake Peak is the Tewa sacred mountain of 

 the east. Somewhere at or near the top of this peak is a lake 

 which is called 'Ag.atJ'sp7iupir)kewepokwi q. v. under [22:uiilo- 

 . cated], page 351. 



Certain secret societies of some of the Tewa pueblos hold 

 summer ceremonies on top of this peak at this lake, just as the 

 Picuris do on top of Jicarita Peak [22:9] and the Taos do at the 

 sacred lake [8 :50] near Pueblo Peak [8 :40]. This information is 

 confirmed by Bandelier: 



Prayer-plumes are found on the Sierra de San Mateo (Mount Taylor) [29: 

 115], as well as at the lagune on Lake Peak, near Santa F6.^
