Apr 08, 2016 — The Pine Tree Loop is an official trail in the Organ Mountains of New Mexico. Unlike most of the action in this range, it's located on the east side of the range. I was first inspired to hike the peaks of the Organs after seeing their jagged summits from along this trail. Starting from Aguirre Spring Campground, I did the Pine Tree Loop clockwise. The hike leads along a minor ridge for much of the time, switchbacking in and out of drainages and slowly making its way up to the base of the peaks, where you can spot Rabbit Ears, the dome-like Sugarloaf Peak, and the rest of The Needles. The trail is well-maintained and surprisingly lush for the Chihuahuan Desert.
