Aaron, how apropos that Paul Mags posted this story.  I just returned from a five day trip to the Pecos wilderness, climbed East Pecos Baldy, Pecos Baldy, and Truchas peaks all from a basecamp at Pecos Baldy lake.  Will try to post a trip report tomorrow.

Sounds like a great trip and look forward to the trip report John! Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to check out the Pecos quite yet, but it's very much on my shortlist, and seasonally speaking seems like an interesting option to combine with more local opportunities.

Looking forward to the report! The Pecos is a gem.

PMags photo'd some of my favorite places. I did several trips there in May and the snow always limited access to the high places. It's a worthy destination - big and spectacular.

Oddly enough, all those photos are from May over the various years.

I have always thought that the town of Pecos would be a good place to live.
