About Mule Mountains
The Mule Mountains are a small, rugged mountain range located in southwestern New Mexico. The range is characterized by steep, rocky terrain with numerous canyons and ridges. The mountains rise abruptly from the surrounding desert landscape, with elevations ranging from around 5,000 feet to just over 7,800 feet at the highest point. The remote and isolated nature of the Mule Mountains has helped preserve a sense of wilderness, with minimal human development or infrastructure within the range itself.
