Organ Needle Day Hike May 2024

Video documentary of our day hike to Needle Peak, the highest peak in the Organ Mountains, on May 18, 2024. The purpose of this video is to showcase not only the scenery and views, but also the difficulty of this hike, which is very challenging (4,500' elevation gain in just 3.5 miles of hiking distance; 7 mile round trip). The uppermost 1/3 of the trail is very difficult to follow if you don't already know the route, so anyone who has not done this hike should not attempt it without the aide of a guide who has been to the summit and knows the way. For this hike, we started out with seven people -- five from Las Cruces, two from El Paso. Three of those people (a father, daughter, and son-in-law) didn't think they were in shape to go all the way to the summit, so from the beginning they only planned on going for an hour. They reached their hour and turned back just below Yellow Rocks. There was another group of five that started just before us, but halfway between Yellow Rocks and Juniper Saddle two people in that group decided this hike was more than they could handle an decided to turn back. Of the remaining three in that group -- a father and two teenage sons -- the father had been to the Needle once before. Upon learning that I was making my sixth trip to the Needle, he decided to lean on my experience so they joined us for the remainder of the ascent. Three other people (two young women and a young man, all from El Paso) arrived at the summit while we were eating lunch at the top.They were the only other people we saw on the trail that day. This hike can also be done as an overnight backpacking trip, spending the night on the summit. There really isn't room on the top for tents and the ground is too rocky to securely anchor them against the wind anyway, so you're basically laying your sleeping bag out on a flat space between boulders and shrubs and sleeping under the stars. Most of the footage for this hike was shot with a head-mounted GoPro Hero 9, with some supplemental footage from a Canon SX710 HS digital camera and an iPhone. As this was only my second hike documentary using the GoPro head mount I'm still experimenting with getting the camera mounted at the ideal angle.
