Description:
The turn-off to Lost Bear Lake is not obvious
from the Pecos River Trail.
It is located approximately two miles upstream from Pecos
Falls. Look for a trail emerging from the Pecos River and
heading northeast up the opposite slope of the river basin.
After crossing the meadow along the Pecos River, the trail
enters a thick spruce forest and begins the steep climb up
the hillside. The lake is perched high up on the slope of
the Hamilton Mesa ridge. |
Notes:
 This
trail is in the Pecos Wilderness. Motorized equipment and
mechanized transportation, including mountain bikes, hunter
carts, and chainsaws are prohibited.
Due
to the steepness, narrowness, and lack of maintenance, this
trail is not recommended for horse travel. |
