Needle Peak is located in Presidio County, in southwest Texas, United States.

[3] Its summit, at an elevation of 4,608 feet (1,405 m) above sea level, rises 328 ft (100 m) over the Lower Shutup, a canyon that runs along its eastern edge.

Needle Peak is a Tertiary intrusion and stands within the Solitario, a circular domal uplift with a nine-mile diameter and a prominent limestone rim.

The vegetation consists primarily of sparse grasses, cacti, desert shrubs, and scrub brush.

The slopes of this range are noted as a source of quartz crystals, including green moss agate, botryoidal geodes,[4] Needle Peak sagenite, and pompon agates.
