Poison Hills

The Poison Hills are a small, isolated mountain range located in the southeastern corner of New Mexico. The rugged, volcanic terrain is characterized by steep, rocky slopes, narrow canyons, and scattered juniper and piñon pine forests. The range's highest peaks reach elevations over 8,000 feet, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding Chihuahuan Desert landscape. Despite its remote and somewhat inhospitable nature, the Poison Hills offer rewarding outdoor recreation opportunities for those willing to explore its challenging, yet scenic backcountry.
