About Brushy Mountains

The Brushy Mountains are a small mountain range located in eastern New Mexico, near the Texas border. This isolated range rises abruptly from the surrounding plains, with rugged, rocky terrain and numerous canyons and drainages. The highest peaks reach over 7,000 feet in elevation, offering panoramic views of the surrounding high desert landscape. The vegetation is dominated by juniper, piñon pine, and scrubby oak, with pockets of ponderosa pine in the higher elevations.
