Organ Mountains
US Hwy 70, mile marker 164

The spectacular Organ Mountains tower over the water-rich Rio Grande Valley.  High sharp peaks and massive cliffs of igneous rocks are part of ancient volcanoes.  Copper, silver, gold, lead and zinc were mined from the Organ Mining District at the north end of the mountains.  To the west is the basin and range country.  Elevation 4,190 feet.
