Tortugas Mountain

Tortugas Mountain is a mountain in southern New Mexico, in the village of Tortugas in Dona Ana County, New Mexico. It is also known locally as 'A' Mountain.

There is a letter "A" on the mountain.[1]

It is the site of the Tortugas Mountain Observatory, an astronomical observatory owned and operated by New Mexico State University.[2]

A pilgrimage to the top of the mountain is part of the annual Fiesta of Our Lady of Guadalupe. It is a 4 miles (6.4 km) climb, which some participants do barefoot.[1]
