Pecos River Views

What the Pecos River does; it does well. It separates vast expanses with its meandering course and seven counties use the river to mark their boundaries. It allows one to differentiate between Loving County and Reeves County, Ward from Reeves, Pecos County from Crane, Crockett from Pecos, and Crockett from Terrell County. This may not seem important to West Texas visitors, but take our word for it - it matters to the tax assessors.

Unfortunately, the confluence of the Pecos and Rio Grande is now under water. The creation of Lake Amistad means that the shoreline of the lake extends up the river valley over 10 miles.

Our other photos of the Pecos come from Fiddle Blue, who caught the Pecos outside of Sheffield, Iraan and McCamey.

Fiddle, who traverses West Texas by motorcycle, also supplies photos of historic Castle Gap.
