Highlights

▶ Organ Mountains–Desert Peaks NM with dramatic peak backdrop for sunrise photography; hummingbirds in spring
▶ Paved start transitioning to graded gravel; multiple flat pull-offs accessible in 2WD for first 3–4 miles
▶ Free camping 9 mi from Las Cruces — full restaurant and service access 30 min away

Planning Notes

Stick to the first 2–3 miles for trailer-friendly pull-offs; road narrows and steepens beyond mi 4 — use lower section only. No facilities. Brutally hot June–August. Distinct from Aguirre Spring ($7/nt, east face of Organs — already in database).
