Location
All zips are located in Quiet Canyon, dominated by the North Lajitas Mesa and its prominent shape that can be seen from miles away. Volcanic activity shaped what we can see today over 30 million years ago with many different colors and shades whose appearance changes with the differing light conditions. A plethora of amazing rocks and petrified wood cover the surface of the desert, it’s like walking through a gem mine! Common plants found are the Creosote Bush, Ocotillo Cactus, Prickly Pear, Candelilla and Mesquite trees. Red Tailed hawks can often be seen soaring overhead while Road Runners and Dove can be found in the underbrush. Aoudad Sheep regularly make an appearance on the ridges and Javelina, Mountain Lions have also been spotted, this is truly an outdoor experience where man and nature are one. Breathtaking views across the Rio Grande with views of the distant mountain ranges are a delight to behold.
