Description:
From Gascon Trail 239
between Jarosa Creek and Pecos Falls, the Pecos Trail heads
to the north. After an initial steep and rocky climb, the
trail generally remains high on the ridge west of the Pecos
River. The trail may be difficult to find where it travels
through meadows and becomes more obscure as it gets father
from the Gascon Trail. It eventually begins to climb again
through dense forest and makes a final steep, narrow, and
rocky ascent to the Santa Barbara Divide and the junction
with Skyline Trail 251. This
last section of trail has a sheer drop-off and may be difficult
for pack stock.
