Located on the rolling foothills of the magnificent Organ Mountains, the Soledad Canyon Day Use Area stretches between two canyons -- Soledad Canyon and Bar Canyon. The area presents an easy, lovely hike on the outskirts of Las Cruces and is famous for the three-mile Bar Canyon Trail loop with magnificent views of the Mesilla Valley and the central parts of the Organ Mountains.
The trails in Soledad Canyon are also suitable for horseback riding and mountain biking. After you pass through a narrowing canyon, you will come up to a beautiful waterfall. Occasionally, you can spot deer and other wildlife.
