Not to be confused with Oregon mountains, which are a long way from Texas. I didn't know Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument existed, but sure enough it does. It's only been a national monument since 2014, so it's younger than Nolan, but I'm guessing the mountains have been around longer than that. We had extra time and it was a perfect evening for a hike, so we made it to the park just before it closed and got to play around on the big rocks. The boys and I got into a few somewhat dangerous positions on the rocks, but that should be expected. We took a big loop around the park and otherwise enjoyed the perfect weather and sunset! Five stars, would recommend!
The path was all downhill from the start, which only means its uphill coming back.
They had excess energy for some reason... ran the whole way down.
Apparently a hermit used to live in this cave years ago until someone murdered him. Good heartwarming story!
A beautiful sunset over the New Mexico desert!
