Difficulty: Difficult
Use: Moderate
Seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter
Highest and Lowest Points: 12,530 and 11,975 feet
Trail Access: Skyline Trail 251
USGS Maps: Truchas Peak
Description:
From Pecos Baldy Lake, look for the Skyline
251 angling up the hillside strating at the far southeast
corner of the lake basin. This trail switchbacks up the north
facing slope to the south of Pecos Baldy Lake and continues
to the top of the ridge. From this saddle, the Skyline Trail
drops down the other side of the ridge to the south, while
the East Pecos Baldy Trail begins to switchback up the southeast
face of East Pecos Baldy. The climb is steep and the trail
is rocky. The high elevation may also add to the difficulty
of the trail. |
Notes:
 This
trail is in the Pecos Wilderness. Motorized equipment and
mechanized transportation, including mountain bikes, hunter
carts, and chainsaws are prohibited.
Do
not attempt to climb Pecos Baldy when there is chance for
lightning. Start as early in the morning as possible.
Do
not feed or disturb the bighorn sheep. |
