Organ Needle, Mountain summit in Doña Ana County, United States.
The Organ Needle rises 9,012 feet above sea level in the Organ Mountains of southern New Mexico, featuring granite formations and steep cliffs.
The mountain area served as hunting grounds for indigenous peoples before becoming part of the territorial expansion of the United States in the 19th century.
Local climbing groups maintain routes and trails to the summit, fostering a community of outdoor enthusiasts who document their ascents for future generations.
Access to Organ Needle requires navigation through dirt roads from Las Cruces, with climbing routes combining established trails and class 3/4 scrambling sections.
The peak stands 4,000 feet above the Tularosa Basin within just two miles, creating one of the most substantial elevation changes in New Mexico.
