Access Issue: COVID-19 New Mexico State Requirements
Details
Effective July 1, 2020, please do not travel into New Mexico to climb.
On July 1, 2020, the New Mexico state governor issued an executive order (cv.nmhealth.org/wp-content/…) requiring all visitors from out of state to self-isolate or self-quarantine for a period of at least 14 days from the date of their entry into the State of New Mexico or for the duration of their presence in the State, whichever is shorter. The terms "self-isolate" or "self-quarantine" refer the voluntary physical separation of a person or group of people in a residence or other place of lodging. Any person who is self-isolating or self-quarantining may only leave a residence or place of lodging to receive medical care and should not allow others into the residence or place of lodging except for those providing medical care, emergency response, or other individuals designated by the New Mexico Department of Health.
The executive order also closes all New Mexico State Parks to non-NM residents.
This Executive Order shall take effect on July 1, 2020 and shall remain in effect through the duration of the public health emergency declared in Executive Order 2020-004 and any extensions of that emergency declaration or until it is rescinded.
Additionally, NM state guidance requires all persons to wear a mask anytime they are out in public, including outdoor recreation areas.

Description
Although not really an exciting destination and offering only 1-2 pitch climbing, Baylor Canyon has the northernmost climbable rock on the west side of the Organ Mountains and south of highway 70.
Getting There
To get to the rock, hike up the nice & easy BLM-maintained trail, and then bushwack off trail for a short way toward the rock. Stuff far left of the trail may be more difficult to access due to excessive Cat's Claw and Prickly Pear, but the Three Stooges to the right are very easily accessible. Approaches could take between 0.75-1.5 hrs, with most of it on a good trail. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/new-mexico/baylor-canyon-pass-via-baylor-canyon-road
