Upham Hills

The Upham Hills are a small mountain range located in the southern part of New Mexico. The range is characterized by rugged, rocky terrain with steep slopes and canyons carved by intermittent streams. Elevations range from around 6,000 feet in the foothills to just over 8,000 feet at the highest peaks. The landscape is predominantly covered in piñon-juniper woodlands, with pockets of ponderosa pine and oak at higher elevations. Wildlife in the Upham Hills includes mule deer, black bear, coyote, and a variety of bird species.
