    🤞hope it works. re: ridgewalks yes! most memorable was bailing out two days in a row near Frisco, first day from a rainstorm on Grays, next day from winter-like conditions near Santa Fe Peak, was getting blown around pretty bad and it was the only time hiking i’ve been legitimately scared.

    i was actually going to ask if you’d done Pecos, i’m interested in some variation of the Pecos Skyline trail, any opinions on it? i’m not familiar with Hondo and Latir, any recommendations on resources? Gila was great, you’ll enjoy it :)

      Yeah, stuff can get hairy over treeline. I’ve had a few scares when the weather changed suddenly.

      Pecos is cool. There’s a high chance of seeing critters (bighorn sheep, elk) and some nice long ridgewalks. A lot of the area has burned at different points. A few years ago a large portion of the eastern side burned. Not sure if it made it over the ridge that makes up that side of the skyline trail. Maybe something to check on.

      As far as the other hikes, I’m pretty sure PMags has been to and has write-ups for both.
