Approximate location — plotted from published sources, not a site visit, and not a guarantee of access.
BLM trailhead access into the Doña Ana Mountains unit of Organ Mountains–Desert Peaks National Monument north of Las Cruces. Open Chihuahuan Desert bajada and rocky mountain slopes support desert mule deer, coyote, raptors, and classic desert birding along multi-use hiking/equestrian/mountain-bike routes—filling a wildlife cell away from the already-mapped Mesilla Valley Bosque and Organ Mountain east-side recreation sites.
