Trek Into Soledad Canyon

Soledad Canyon is a Bureau of Land Management day-use area located in the Organ Mountains about ten miles east of Las Cruces, New Mexico.  Several different trails make for fascinating hikes of various lengths within the canyon.  Hikers trekking up the main trail straight to the base of the mountains are often rewarded with the sight of a small waterfall.  After summer rains, the high-desert canyon is lush with vegetation, and much of the flatland between the mountains resembles an African savannah.
