Little Florida Mountains

The Little Florida Mountains are a small mountain range located in southwestern New Mexico, near the border with Mexico. The range rises abruptly from the surrounding desert, with rugged, rocky terrain and several prominent peaks. The mountains are part of the Basin and Range physiographic province, characterized by north-south trending fault-block mountain ranges separated by flat desert valleys. Elevations in the range reach over 7,500 feet, providing a cooler, more forested environment compared to the low-lying Chihuahuan Desert that surrounds it.
