"*See other peaks in trip report for more pictures of the hike. Two years ago I made plans to hike these peaks, but because of a forest fire I was not able to do so. Last year I had everything planned, but it just didn’t work out. This year it worked out! I called the forest service before going to see if there were any issues for my planned hiking route. They said there were not. I found out there was. I drove on NM highway 63 north of Pecos for about 15 miles then turned east on highway 646. (The maps say 645.) This dirt road definitely needs a 4WD vehicle. This road is about 14 miles long and because of the ruts and road conditions it takes an hour or so to drive. I drove to the point where the road meets Skyline Ridge and parked. I left my home at 4:00 AM and was hiking by 7:00, Wednesday July 5, 2017. It was a cool clear morning. The starting elevation was 10,705 feet. Almost the entire hike is hiking on a ridge, and because there are no streams on the ridge, I knew it could be an issue finding water. I had a 40 pound pack and 12 pounds of it was water. I headed north. It was difficult finding the trail for the entire hike. As a kid, in my training becoming an Eagle Scout..." — Phil-Robinson • Jul 5, 2017
