About Gravel Hills

The Gravel Hills are a small, rugged mountain range located in north-central New Mexico. The range is characterized by steep, rocky terrain and sparse vegetation, with elevations ranging from around 6,500 feet to just over 8,000 feet. The landscape is dominated by exposed gravel, scree, and boulders, giving the range a stark, lunar-like appearance. Despite the challenging terrain, the Gravel Hills offer excellent opportunities for outdoor recreation, with a network of hiking trails winding through the remote wilderness.
