Cornudas Mountains

The Cornudas Mountains are a small, remote mountain range located in the southeastern corner of New Mexico. These isolated peaks rise abruptly from the surrounding Chihuahuan Desert, reaching elevations over 7,000 feet. The rugged terrain is characterized by steep, rocky slopes and canyons carved by seasonal streams. Vegetation is sparse, with hardy desert shrubs and grasses covering the lower slopes and pinyon-juniper woodlands at higher elevations. Despite their remote location, the Cornudas Mountains offer opportunities for hiking, backpacking, and wildlife viewing in a dramatic desert landscape.
