San Augustin Mountains, Mountain range near Las Cruces, New Mexico.
The San Augustin Mountains extend for 8 miles with multiple peaks, including Bear Peak reaching an elevation of 7,087 feet in the Chihuahuan Desert region.
The mountain range marks the southern end of the San Andres Mountains, serving as a natural boundary between Las Cruces and the White Sands region for centuries.
