Del Norte Mountains

The Del Norte Mountains are a small, rugged mountain range located in western Texas near the border with Mexico. This remote and arid range is part of the larger Chihuahuan Desert ecosystem. The terrain is characterized by steep, rocky slopes, narrow canyons, and scattered desert vegetation such as yucca, ocotillo, and creosote bush. Elevations range from around 3,000 feet in the valleys up to just over 6,000 feet on the highest peaks.
