They are considered the southeasternmost part of the San Juan Mountains.[1] Grouse Mesa, 11,407 feet (3,477 m),[3] is the highest peak in the range.[1] The mountains are located to the west of Taos and northwest of Santa Fe. The Tusas Mountains are a wide region of upland mesas and gently sloping mountains, dissected in places by deep canyons.[4]
