“A looping, alternative climb to Tabeguache Trail in the Lunch Loops.”

— Don Leinweber
GPX File — Driving Directions

Overview

Description

Pet-e-Kes begins on the Eagle's Tail trail at the first major switchback and climbs to High Noon Trail. There is also a midpoint connection to Tabeguache Trail.

The trail is typical for the area: winding, rocky, and technical. Every turn seems to hide a technical spurt over rocks. The trail is quite fun and apart from Tabeguache Trail, the most direct connection to the two lower Lunch Loops downhill only trails: Holy Cross and Pucker Up.

More mud holes. This ones too deep to go through. Most of the trail is pretty dry except for a few spots like this.
