The Pyramid Mountains are a 30 mi (48 km) long, mountain range in central-east Hidalgo County, New Mexico. The city of Lordsburg and Interstate 10 lie at its northern border.
The range lies between the northeast corner of the north–south Animas Valley on the west and the Playas and Lordsburg valleys to the southeast and northeast respectively. The continental divide passes through the southern end of the range.
The Chihuahuan Desert has its northwest extension into the foothills regions of the Pyramid Mountains.
