Pecos River Cabins Etiquette

Pecos River Cabins Etiquette

“The richest values of wilderness lie not in the days of Daniel Boone, nor even in the present, but rather in the future.” ~ Aldo Leopold

cabincardWe welcome you to Pecos River Cabins and encourage you to enjoy the property, explore the 223,00 acre Pecos Wilderness and the Santa Fe National Forest. 

Hike. Bike. Walk, Fish. Bird. Picnic. Explore. Relax.

Good Pecos River Cabin Stewards:

  • Plan ahead and prepare: Weather can change quickly in the mountains and at high elevations. It can be raining up the Canyon, but clear here. Due to our high elevation drink plenty of water. Take plenty of water when hiking.
  • Check Trail and Road Conditions: Call ahead to the US Forest Service to inquire about Trail Conditions. Inquire about the Trail rating: easy, moderate, strenuous. Consider the physical condition of all members of your group. Bring a map and/or compass. Let someone, not going with your group, know the Trail you will be hiking
  • Pack It In. Pack It Out: Leave only footsteps. Take only photos and memories. Human food and trash is unhealthy for animals and fish. Leave the trail, riverbank or picnic area cleaner than how you found it.
    • Untangle fishing line from vegetation and dispose of properly. Wild birds can easily become entrapped by this nearly invisible filament
    • Dispose of extinguished cigarette butts in an appropriate container
  • Don’t Pick the Posies: the PRC crew works diligently to keep the grounds well kept and inviting for you and for the next Guest. Wildflowers provide shelter and food for wildlife. Picking a flower denies our pollinators a food source. It prohibits seed production, important for winter bird food and next year’s flowers. And the Guest arriving after you will miss their beauty
  • Respect the Wildlife: Wild animals are in the area and are part of the beauty of the Pecos. Please do not leave food or trash on the cabin patios, decks, or porches. Do not leave food or trash in your car. Place trash in a tied trash bag in the designated trash receptacle. Make sure to secure the lid. If a wild animal is on property, please do not approach or feed it. Contact Property Management.
  • Respect the River: Please do not move the rocks in the river. We are working to build and maintain fish habitat and to control erosion. Do not play in or block the stream. 
  • Be Considerate of Other Guests: Listening to the sounds of Nature is important for many of our Guests. Do not walk behind others’ cabins. Be advised that the river amplifies noise and voices, especially after dark. Please respect the 9:00 pm to 9:00 am quiet hours.
  • Help Us Help You. Please do not walk on east side of the property. This area is infrastructure related: septic and electrical. A Bee Hive surrounded by an electric fence is located there. Turn off cabin lights when not in use.  New Mexico is experiencing extended drought conditions.  Help us to conserve water by using bath towels more than once. Please let us know if something in the cabin needs attention.
