The Rocky Mountains don't end at the Colorado border as many people believe, they stretch far into the "flat" dry desert of New Mexico. There are 37 peaks over 12,000 feet in the Land of Enchantment, and 3 of those are above 13,000 ft. (peaks with 300ft of generous prominence). This route is comprised of 29 peaks in total, as eight peaks are on private property and are inaccessible to most or all. (Do not trespass to do the other peaks.) Many of the peaks are not easily accessible and require traveling some distance to reach, especially throughout the Pecos wilderness.
