    Great place to exercise. Love taking my son here and just experiencing live itself. Took us 30 minutes to get on top of the mountain and look at the beauty of the city and earth itself. Plus...

    Great Hiking all around the mountain. You can hike up the road that goes to the observatory at the top or go up the many trails leading to the exact same place. Many locals make the trek up the top....  more

    Great spot just outside of Las Cruces. A great variety of trails to choose from. It was pretty rocky on the trails we took but not difficult. The view at the top was awesome!
  • By Sridhar Vasudevan
    A Serene place to enjoy the quieter elevation after climbing up a steep mountain. View of the organ mountain is charming. The grand top view of the entire Las Cruces city is fantastic, with long straight roads and cars visible as tiny as toys. The freshness of air is singing rare to get elsewhere.
  • By Laura Grant
    Short, but challenging hike.
  • By CeCe Sweetly
    Lovely hike. Religious experience. The road to the parking lot is rough, big holes, just careful with low profile cars.
