Happy Easter to all.

Pine Tree Trail is your friend. I think it's the best hiking trail in the Las Cruces area.

Thanks Mike. I read some reviews on pine tree trail. All excellent. Sounds right up my alley.
And right in the Campground.
Will take plenty of water and be on the lookout for rattlers,


Cheers

If you go up from the left (it's loop trail) you will be going up more steeply, then on the right side coming down, it's more gradual. Most hikers go clockwise. I've done it counterclockwise as well.
