Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. This week, I am going to show you around Ute Lake, which is about 20 minutes northeast of Tucumcari. Saturday morning when we were thinking of what we wanted to do, Daddy suggested a hike at Ute Lake. When Sunny found out there would be a car ride involved, she decided a nice walk around the RV Park would be nice...followed by a nice nap.
After we got Sunny situated, the pawrents and I headed out to the beautiful Ute Lake!
It was pawfect weather for a hike! Blue skies and warm with a nice breeze coming off the water.
Ute Lake is about 13 miles long making it one of the longest lakes in New Mexico!
Plus, it has LIZARDS!!
Daddy says I scared all of them away because I am so very fierce!
Mama loved the rocky shoreline. Ute Lake is a popular place for humans to do everything from enjoying all the natural beauty to hiking and water skiing!
We took a hike along the water for the first part of our walk. Mama told me there were supposed to be lots of fishies in the lake. I kept looking, but didn't see any.
After we explored the water's edge, we took a ride to see the other side of the lake.
This side of the lake has cliffs that look over over Lake Ute
(this is much better lizard hunting terrain, but I still didn't catch one).
It had pretty views of the sparkling water!
The water's edge was a little more rocky on this side too!
Before I knew it, it was time to head back to ArCe for lunch and to see Sunny!!
Thanks for joining us in our hike around Ute Lake, it sure was a fun place to visit!
We hope everyone gets out to see some Nature this weekend!
