It's about a 35- to 40-minute drive from Las Cruces to the Aguirre Springs National Recreation Area on the east side of the Organ Mountains. Near the campground (57 family sites and 2 group sites) are the trailheads to two national recreation trails, the Baylor Pass Trail and the Pine Tree Trail. Both are spectacular hikes, but the Pine Tree Trail climbs to the base of the Organ Needles into a forest of Ponderosa Pines. The road in and out of the recreation area is itself a scenic drive, offering many outstanding vistas for nature enthusiasts.
