About Cornucopia Hills

The Cornucopia Hills are a small mountain range located in the southwestern region of New Mexico. Stretching across an area of approximately 150 square miles, the range is characterized by rugged, jagged peaks, deep canyons, and vast expanses of high-desert terrain. The geology of the Cornucopia Hills is dominated by ancient volcanic and sedimentary rock formations, creating a diverse and scenic landscape. The climate is generally dry and temperate, with hot summers and mild, snowy winters. The range's remote location and limited access points contribute to its largely undeveloped and pristine character, making it a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a true wilderness experience.
