Aguirre Spring Recreation Area
The Organ Mountains are a compact range a few miles east of Las Cruces, forming a southerly extension of the much larger San Andres Mountains - both create a natural divide between Rio Grande Valley in the west and Tularosa Valley in the east, much of which is contained within White Sands Missile Base. The most spectacular section of the Organ Mountains are the Needles, a jagged ridge of eroded granite pinnacles, and this provides a scenic backdrop to the BLM-managed Aguirre Spring Recreation Area, situated in a sheltered bowl on the northeast-facing side of the ridge. The site contains a campground, at elevation 5,700 feet and hence significantly cooler than the desert lowlands, plus two trails, and the proximity to both Las Cruces and El Paso makes the place very popular. Entry and/or camping are good value at just $3 per night, and although the campsite has few facilities (and is not suitable for large RVs), the pleasant surroundings and good views over the mountains and Tularosa Valley are reason enough to stay.
