Chupadera Mountains

The Chupadera Mountains are a small mountain range located in central New Mexico, near the town of Socorro. The range is part of the Basin and Range province, characterized by rugged, rocky terrain with steep canyons and ridges. The highest peak in the Chupaderas is Chupadera Peak, reaching an elevation of 7,569 feet. The range's arid climate and sparse vegetation give it a desert-like character, with juniper, pinyon pine, and yucca being common plant species.
