USFS trailhead on NM 15 for Signal Peak Trail #742 in the Pinos Altos Mountains north of Silver City—a steep mixed-conifer climb to a historic fire lookout (~9,000 ft) with commanding views over the Gila Wilderness and southern ranges. A classic Grant County high-country geology-and-summit destination distinct from already-mapped Burro Peak, Three Sisters, Pinos Altos townsite, and Gila Hot Springs.
