Anthonys Nose

Review & FAQ:

Anthonys Nose is located in the Franklin Mountains, where its name sprung from its resemblance to the human facial feature. It’s the mountain range’s second highest peak at 6,927 feet.

The terrain is quite brutal, with abundant lechugilla (an agave plant indigenous to the Chihuahuan Desert), ocotillo, prickly pear, and other prickly plants.

Even the easiest routes to the summit will require some class three scrambling, and maybe class four climbing.

With no established trails to the top, this climbing experience is for the true adventurer who enjoys the challenge and solitude of a mountainous, unspoiled desert terrain. This cross-country day hike is a strenuous one.
