INTERCAMP - TRUCHES LAKES

44 miles

Description	The trail starts at Camp Frank Rand (Great Southwest Council) and ends at Camp Tres Ritos (South Planes Council). The trail traverses the Pecos Wilderness with a large portion above 11000 ft.
Difficulty	Moderate
Comments	Hiking along the Rio Frijoles/Trail 154 can be dangerous during times of high run-off; this is true for many areas in the first half of the hike. In the high country from before reaching Truchas Lake to close to the end of the hike, lightening is a problem. Cover should be sought with any sign of an approaching thunderstorm. Difficulty navigating can be encountered in the Trail 19/Forest Service Road 161 area because of the numerous trails and roads in the area. Altitude sickness is a potential problem; pay particular attention to drinking sufficient water.
To Earn Segment	Hike trail as described.
