Badland Hills

The Badland Hills in northeastern New Mexico are a unique and rugged mountain range known for their dramatic landscapes. Formed by millions of years of erosion, the hills feature steep, jagged slopes, deep canyons, and otherworldly rock formations. The terrain is predominantly rocky and arid, with sparse vegetation consisting of hardy shrubs and grasses. Elevation ranges from around 4,500 feet in the valley bottoms to over 7,000 feet at the highest points. Despite the harsh environment, the Badland Hills provide habitat for a variety of wildlife including mule deer, pronghorn, and various bird species.
