Organ, NM

Sitting along Highway 70 at the foot of the Organ Mountains, Organ is a small, quiet community about ten miles east of Las Cruces. Founded during the 19th-century mining boom, it has grown into a laid-back desert neighborhood with incredible views of the rocky peaks above. Living here puts you right down the road from the Baylor Pass trailhead, making it easy to get outside whenever you want. Families are part of the Las Cruces Public Schools district, and the quick drive down the pass makes commuting into town simple while giving you starry night skies and wide-open space at home.
