Chimayosos is an easy climb; however, it's views from the summit are outstanding giving it the most central view in all of the Pecos Wilderness and vistas far into New Mexico. All four of the rugged 13,000 ft. Truchas Peaks are in close proximity and the views of all 4 peaks are second to none. Long approaches on all sides also keep the crowds at bay giving the adventurer solitude. It won't be uncommon also to see plenty of elk and Bighorn sheep on or near the mountain as well.
