While visiting White Sands National Monument recently, I also made a half-day trip to the Aguirre Spring Rec Area in the Organ Mountains. Part of the same Chihuahuan desert as Big Bend National Park, in many ways the areas reminded me of the Chisos Basin. The Organ Mountains themselves are quite dramatic, rising as jagged peaks 5000 feet above the surrounding area. To view the images, click here or on the image above.
