Mount Walter (New Mexico)
Mount Walter is the second highest named summit in the U.S. state of New Mexico, rising to 13,141 feet above sea level. However it is not usually counted as an independent mountain since it has only about of topographic prominence, and is only north-northeast of Wheeler Peak, the highest peak in New Mexico.

They are also in the Wheeler Peak Wilderness of Carson National Forest. Mount Walter (New Mexico) Mount
