This mountain range is what Rick is heading into this morning. He plans on going 22 miles today. I will meet up with him with a fresh water supply. Not much water in New Mexico. This is Pinos Altos (Spanish for " tall pines" ) Mountain range.  Black Peak is at an elevation of 9,029 feet.  It is the highest point in this range. Most of his hike today will be in the Gila National Forest.
