Chihuahuan Desert Nature Park

We were in town to have some car work done, and we took a ride out to the park. The layout is very nice, and the staff have done a wonderful job with laying out the two trails, and identifying plants and geological features. Not sure what the amphitheater is used for, but its very nice. The views are terrific, especially of the Organ range. Doing both trails is slightly over two miles over very easy terrain. I highly recommend it for a short side trip.

A beautiful hidden gem out in the desert. TAKE PLEANTY OF WATER!!!!!Restrooms are closed. So take shovel and toilet paper. Facility is very clean and well kept.

Very nice park with an easy trail . Great views of the Dona Ana mountains. The trails are well marked and easy to hike . Many of the plants have identification tags for people to able to identify them, The walk to the top is not difficult and the views are nice.

Great views, nice trails.

This is kinda a bit of a hidden gem. It has nice nature trails accessible for all ages. Information placards are also present to educate and expand the knowledge of the desert that is teaming with life. The park does close promptly at the hours listed though. So plan your visit accordingly and track your time. They actually lock the gate at this park and youll be at the mercy of the terrain if no one can is able to unlock it for you. I plan on returning! :)

Easy hike with great view of the Dona Anas and Organ mtns.

Beautiful. Easy get away.

If they had trash cans or open bathrooms. It would easily be a 5.

Interesting, but very undeveloped. Basically just some trails in the desert

It has been very nicely developed and maintained.

Nice, well maintained area. Good way to familiarize yourself with desert flora and fauna. Do watch out for cacti, my dogs wanted to chase smell trails not understanding the risk.

Ami was awesome presentation of insects was spot-on.

Beautiful....peaceful. Soul satisfying

Awesome!

Beautiful and not very busy. There are several trails which have educational plaques throughout. Theres not many options for free range hiking here. The trails arent long and there are benches.

Appropriately lonely and walk deeply into mountains and high mountain basins

Good place to see ants that grow in the desert in this area. Too bad they have vandals though. The rest room is closed because of them.

Pretty easy and scenic trail with informational signs throughout. Bring your own water as there were no water fountains.

Awesome ride on dirt bikes to a small hike lots of cool trails leading off

Neat place. Beautiful and natural.

Ok nothing special
