Dripping Springs Ranch

02/22/08

Dripping Springs Ranch is an area controlled by the BLM. It is just outside of Las Cruces at the base of the Organ Mountains. At various times in its history, it has been a working ranch, a mountain camp for tourists, and a TB sanitorium. There are a few derelict buildings remaining from these incarnations. It also has a cave that was home to a hermit that was a local legend. If you look at the photo labeled La Cueva Rocks, the cave is at the base of these rocks.
