The CDT - New Mexico Section is a 9.2-mile out-and-back hike on Bureau of Land Management land within the Las Cruces District Office in southern New Mexico. The route rises 244 feet from a low of 4,587 feet to a high of 4,833 feet, and the climb is rated moderate. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 82°F in April and October to about 91°F in May and September, while summer highs reach 99°F. That station sits roughly 600 feet lower than the hike's high point, so temperatures up top run cooler. The Continental Divide Trail lies about 3.4 miles away, and the Main Street trail is about 7.3 miles off.
