Brazos Mountains

Brazos Mountains

The Brazos Mountains is a range in far northern Rio Arriba County, in northern New Mexico in the southwestern United States. A high crest runs from the border with Colorado for over 20 miles (32 km) in a south-southeasterly direction. The high point of the range is on Grouse Mesa, at the Brazos Benchmark (11,405 feet, 3476 m). Two miles (3 km) to the southeast is the more distinctive Brazos Peak, at 11,288 feet (3440 m).

The range is mostly located in the privately-held Tierra Amarilla Land Grant (the Carson National Forest is to the east and south). It is a distinctive part of the view from the west, including from Heron Lake. U.S. Route 64 crosses the southern end of the range at a 10,481 foot (3194 m) pass. Nearby are the photogenic Brazos Cliffs, headwaters of the Brazos River and part of the Rio Chama river system.
