Description:
The Chimayosos Trail has a reasonably uniform grade and is
a good route for those seeking solitude and a more challenging
experience. From Beatty's Flats, follow Beatty's
Trail 25 up the Rito del Padre one mile to Chimayosos
Trail 246. Turn west up the Rito Azul drainage and proceed
upstream for half a mile. Near the junction on the Rito Azul
and the Rito de los Chimayosos, the trail continues up the
east bank of the Rito de los Chimayosos. The trail passes
through spruce forests and meadows, making two stream crossings
in the next mile. Continue up the east side, crossing meadows
with views of the Truchas Peaks. Expect to find multiple trails
in the meadows. After a few miles, the trail climbs away from
the creek and passes through a wooded area where it may be
difficult to follow. The trail ends at the junction with
Jack's Creek Trail 257. |
Notes:
 This
trail is in the Pecos Wilderness. Motorized equipment and
mechanized transportation, including mountain bikes, hunter
carts, and chainsaws are prohibited.
There
may be many trees down on the trail. It may be difficult to
follow in the boggy meadows. |
