About Collins Hills
The Collins Hills are a small mountain range located in northwestern New Mexico. Composed primarily of sedimentary rock, the hills rise gradually from the surrounding high desert landscape, reaching elevations over 8,000 feet. The terrain features a mix of rounded ridges, gently sloping meadows, and rugged canyons carved by seasonal streams. Pinyon-juniper woodlands and ponderosa pine forests cover much of the range, providing habitat for diverse wildlife including mule deer, black bears, and a variety of bird species.
