Learn more about alerts →Hikers and backpackers heading into high-alpine terrain who want free overnight parking with vault toilets. Summer is the sweet spot: trails clear by late June, wildflower meadows peak through August, and the steep first 0.75 miles opens into flatter backcountry beyond.
No potable water on-site means you're hauling everything in. Strict Pecos Wilderness rules also ban camping within 50 feet of trails and streams, so if you're expecting to just roll up and pitch a tent at the trailhead, read the regs first.
