What you can expect

This guided hike provides a unique opportunity to move through multiple high desert habitats including grasslands, Chihuahan desert features, and pinon-juniper forest while climbing 500 feet and gaining landscape-level views. Capture views of the nearby Silver City Range and Pinos Altos Mountains along with further mountains including the Cooke's Range and Floridas near the Mexican border.

Boston Hill has a rich mining history and you will witness several mining pits and tailings along the hike. Your guide will be knowledgeable of the vegetation, wildlife, and history of the area to answer your questions as they arise.
