About Avalon Hills
The Avalon Hills are a small but rugged mountain range located in the southwestern corner of New Mexico. This remote and undeveloped area features steep, rocky slopes covered in pine and juniper forests, with dramatic canyons and ridges carved by seasonal streams. The terrain is challenging, with numerous rocky outcrops, talus fields, and steep, sometimes exposed hiking trails. Despite its small size, the Avalon Hills offer a true wilderness experience, with few signs of human activity and abundant wildlife including mule deer, black bears, and a variety of birds of prey.
