About Red Hills
The Red Hills are a small but scenic mountain range located in southeastern New Mexico. Spanning an area of approximately 200 square miles, the range is characterized by rugged, red-hued peaks and steep, canyon-like valleys. The terrain is predominantly rocky and arid, with sparse vegetation adapted to the dry climate. Elevations range from around 4,500 feet in the valleys to over 7,000 feet atop the highest summits, creating a dramatic landscape against the surrounding desert landscape.
