The river's flow is influenced by snowmelt and precipitation from the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and the river's tributaries, including the Rio Hondo and the Rio Mora. Seasonal trends show lower flow in the fall and winter and higher flow in the spring and summer. The river is regulated by the Santa Rosa Dam downstream, which can impact flow rates. The Pecos River has a rich history and is famous in literature, having been featured in works by Cormac McCarthy and Willa Cather.
