Beautiful video that evokes such emotion for me. These peaks and the Pecos area are so near and dear. Thank you!

So glad you enjoyed the video and that it pulled you into it! I love this area too and keep coming back to the Pecos myself. It’s a special place for sure. Thank you for watching and commenting!

Wonderful video!! This has motivated me and my son to do this hike this summer. Very much enjoyed your work

[@Beyond_The_Treeline]

That’s awesome! You’ll love it. It’s probably my favorite area in the Pecos Wilderness I’ve been to yet. So glad the video helped with that motivation :) Thank you!

Great Video, I'm from the town of Truchas . My friends and I would go backpacking in the peaks during the summer. Have lived in Texas for over 30 years now, how I miss the beauty of the Truchas Peaks and Northern New Mexico.

Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it! Wow, how special to have grown up there. It truly is a gem of a place. I find myself continuing to go back to that area. It’s so beautiful and the peaks are so dynamic. Do you ever get to go back to visit?

[@ervinslens]

Omg, simply stunning presentation my friend! Place looks simply outstanding 👏🥾

[@Beyond_The_Treeline]

Thanks! It’s definitely a special area!

Did truchas peak with a colleague from LANL on a one-day hike to the top. This is where I learned the hard lesson of not using sneakers with basketball shorts when hiking NM. It was a hard hike.

[@Beyond_The_Treeline]

Oh man! Yea I bet. That terrain is no joke! I bet it was worth it at the top though. The views out there are incredible! That’s also a long day! Where did you hike in from?

[@moloko4]

Great vid. hoping to hit up that area soon.

[@Beyond_The_Treeline]

Thanks! You should. It’s gorgeous. I’m currently planning another trip in the area for later this year. I love that region!

Stunning video, thanks for sharing your hikes. My toes would’ve been so sore after hiking down that steep mountain from Truchas Peak. Looking forward to your next adventure.

[@Beyond_The_Treeline]

Glad you enjoyed it! Everything was sore after hiking down from Truchas Peak lol 😂 Worth it thought!
