Pecos is a place to hike, fish, horseback ride and meditate. Pecos is a western saga, situated near an all-weather pass where the west was lost and won time and time again. First came Pueblo and Plains Indians, then Spanish settlers, then traders on the Santa Fe Trail and then Confederate and Union soldiers. Pecos is a an ancient place with modern amenities, a village of small, family-owned lodges, restaurants, shops and guiding services. Pecos is a place of senses for people who value their sense of place.
Outfitters offer guided horseback treks into wilderness areas.
