We had always heard that the Pecos Wilderness was on of the great places to hike, so when the thermometer hit 108 we were outta here to the cool 8500 ft elevation. It proved to be a great decision with a lush green COOL alpine forest with to numerous to count wildflowers. The high point of the trip was a hike to Pecos Baldy Lake at about 11,500 ft where we encounter a herd of big horn sheep. I had heard that there was a herd there, but I had no idea that they were as tame as they were. We were sneaking around trying to get pictures and finally realized that they weren't going to charge us but damn near let us pet them. I have to say it was of the strangest wildlife encounters that I have ever had.
