About Avalon Hills

The Avalon Hills are a modest mountain range located in the central region of New Mexico. Characterized by rugged, rolling hills and deep canyons, the terrain offers a mix of rocky outcroppings, forested slopes, and high-elevation meadows. The range is part of the larger Sangre de Cristo mountain system and features a diverse array of flora and fauna adapted to the high-desert climate. While not as imposing as some of New Mexico's other mountain ranges, the Avalon Hills provide excellent opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a more intimate, less crowded wilderness experience.
