About Gyp Hills
The Gyp Hills are a small mountain range located in the southeastern corner of New Mexico. This arid, rugged landscape is characterized by steep, rocky ridges and canyons carved by intermittent streams. The terrain consists of a mix of limestone, gypsum, and other sedimentary rock formations, creating a unique and visually striking environment. Elevations range from around 3,500 to 5,500 feet, with the highest points offering panoramic views across the surrounding Chihuahuan Desert. The climate is generally hot and dry, with mild winters and long, hot summers.
