About Selden Hills

The Selden Hills are a small mountain range located in the central region of New Mexico. Characterized by rugged, rocky peaks and deeply carved canyons, this range offers a unique and challenging outdoor experience. The terrain is predominantly composed of igneous and sedimentary rock formations, with steep, technical trails that wind through the varied landscape. Despite its relatively low elevation compared to other New Mexico mountain ranges, the Selden Hills provide a remote and isolated backcountry setting, away from the crowds and development found in more popular recreation areas.
