Summer's Here?

We had an email request for information about bringing a hiking group into the Pecos Wilderness. They want to go to Pecos Falls. It's a little early to be thinking about it, or maybe not. Along about the middle of June it will be the most beautiful place in the world up there on Hamilton Mesa. Meanwhile we've referred them to the Public Lands Information Center. If you're here in Santa Fe, they are worth a visit for maps, books, and good advice. They're at 1474 Rodeo Rd.

       It was sleeting when we started this message, though the sun is out now. But it's not too soon to start reading up in the hiking books. The map is from Topozone. To see what it was like up there one recent June 20th: a photo from Hamilton Mesa, looking towards the Truchas Peaks.
