The Best Guide to Lake Katherine New Mexico Pecos Wilderness Backpacking

I recently visited Santa Fe, New Mexico, and was able to explore the Pecos Wilderness Backpacking to Lake Katherine. The trail thru the Pecos Wilderness is definitely not for the faint of heart as it has a significant elevation change of about 5,500 feet and a one-way distance of just under 8 miles when starting from the Santa Fe Ski Area. So join me for a grand adventure and use it to guide your own adventure. Make sure to stay at the end to see a summary of my experience with a review of the trip's good, bad, and ugly. #newmexico #wildernessbackpacking #pecoswilderness Hello there!
