Ocate Peak, Mountain summit in Mora County, New Mexico, US.
Ocate Peak rises to an elevation of 7,788 feet with exposed rock formations and mountain slopes covered in native vegetation throughout the terrain.
The mountain served as a crucial navigation point along the Santa Fe Trail before traders developed the Cimarron Cutoff route in the nineteenth century.
The name Ocate originates from Nahuatl language, referring to pine trees that grow abundantly across the mountain slopes and surrounding areas.
State Road 120 provides direct access to the mountain's northern section, with multiple hiking trails starting from the base of the peak.
The peak's volcanic formation creates a distinct silhouette against the northeastern New Mexico skyline, visible from considerable distances across Mora County.
