Located in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Jack's Creek is on the border of the Pecos Wilderness, which features 160,000 acres of majestic mountain scenery, high mountain lakes and the Pecos River. The campground is heavily forested with fir trees intermixed with aspens, which shimmer with golden foliage in the fall. The trees provide plenty of shade if desired, yet enough space to enjoy the sun as well. The creek is adjacent to the campground. A variety of wildlife, such as elk, mule deer, migratory birds, bald eagles (in winter) and other raptors inhabit the forest.
