Another Summit  Sucess!

Ugly hike on an ugly mountain. I had planned on Organ Peak but the overnight snow made me change my mind. Me & my 2 dogs as usual.

From a trailhead on the NW side  Sucess!

This was a great leg-stretcher after driving down to Las Cruces. Checked into the hotel, changed clothes and hiked to enjoy the sunset. Cute mountain, lots of locals to chat with. Braided trails make the mountain a bit of a mess, but it's still a nice hike.

A Mountain Trail  Sucess!

Fairly steep hike to the top. Nice views of the Organ Mountains and Las Cruces. Many interesting cacti on the top of the mountain. I hike that trail on New Year's eve after some morning rains. Nice cloudy and cool day.

Daughter's first summit  Sucess!

Hiked up with my wife and my 3.5 month old daughter in the wrap. A very easy hike!

Nice after work hike  Sucess!

Took the dog out for a walk and decided it was finally time to check out the summit of this peak being it's right in town. Hard to believe I've lived in Las Cruces for nearly 2 years now and just now hiked up this monster..

Evening Hike  Sucess!

A nice evening for hiking and geocaching. I'm a new member of summitpost and was happy to find a write up on 'A' mountain, thanks!

Sunset stroll  Sucess!

Went up "A" Mountain on a last-minute whim. I see this mountain all the time and just decided to see what it looked like from the top. Nice sunset stroll to the top...so easy a caveman can do it!

Sunset  Sucess!

We got to the summit at sunset and there were outstanding views. Ended up finishing in the dark.
