Chupadera Mountains

The Chupadera Mountains are a small mountain range located in central New Mexico, near the town of Socorro. The range is relatively low-lying, with the highest point being Chupadera Peak at just over 7,500 feet in elevation. The terrain is characterized by rugged, rocky outcroppings and sparse, high-desert vegetation, typical of the Chihuahuan Desert ecosystem. Despite their modest size, the Chupadera Mountains offer scenic vistas and opportunities for outdoor recreation, particularly for hikers and wildlife enthusiasts.
