Organ Needle - New Mexico

Organ Needle is the highest peak in the Organ Mountains, located in Southern New Mexico. Just East of the city of Las Cruces, the Organ Mountains make an incredibly picturesque backdrop to the city.
The hike itself is a dayhike, consisting of a trail leading up to a section near the top I call "the Maze" where some basic routefinding and navigation is needed.
There is a very short 4th class section near the summit, but ropes are in place for those who choose to use them.
The views from the top are incredible, stretching as far as the eye can see in every direction.

Well what a surprise! I recently became interested in finally learning how to use a compass (with a map) and stumbled upon your awesome map interpretation class. As I concluded with your video I decided to check out your channel. When I saw a thumbnail of the Organ Mountains I became intrigued. Specifically because I am from Las Cruces currently residing in Houston Texas. Your video on Organ Needle was also AWESOME. I really appreciate your refreshing outlook on life and wanted to say KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.

Thanks for the tip! I think I might come back at some point to nearby Deming and do North Florida Peak.
