Tucked high in the Pecos Wilderness, Pecos Baldy Lake sits in a wide alpine bowl at the foot of East Pecos Baldy. The shallow lake reflects the surrounding peaks and pines, making it a favorite rest stop for backpackers tackling the Skyline Trail or Jack's Creek Trail. Campsites circle the basin, offering peaceful overnight spots. Caution is advised at the southeast corner, as an underground outflow feeds a hidden stream below.
