Brushy Mountains

The Brushy Mountains are a small, rugged mountain range located in northeastern New Mexico. This range is characterized by steep, forested slopes, rocky outcroppings, and deep canyons carved by seasonal streams. The highest point in the Brushy Mountains is around 8,000 feet in elevation, providing a dramatic contrast to the surrounding high plains and desert landscapes. The terrain is challenging, with limited trail networks, making the Brushy Mountains better suited for experienced backcountry adventurers than casual day-hikers.
