Chinaman Hills

The Chinaman Hills are a small, rugged mountain range located in the central part of New Mexico. The range is characterized by steep, rocky slopes, deep canyons, and high-elevation plateaus. The terrain is primarily composed of sedimentary and volcanic rock formations, with some areas featuring exposed granite. Forests of ponderosa pine, pinyon pine, and juniper cover much of the lower and mid-elevation slopes, while the higher areas are dominated by Douglas fir and spruce-fir forests.
