Borrego Mesa Area

The Borrego Mesa area is the gateway to many of the trails in the Western portion of the Pecos Wilderness. The country is rugged and beautiful and generally more lightly used than other parts of the Pecos Wilderness. There are five main trail heads each connecting to trails within the Pecos Wilderness. A good map and orienteering skills are recommended for many of these trails due to lighter use and becoming overgrown such that in many locations the trail can be difficult to find and follow.
