Salinas Peak is the highest point in the San Andres Mountains of south-central New Mexico, in the United States.

The peak is located within the White Sands Missile Range, and hence is closed to the public.

About 20 miles (32 km) to the north lies the Trinity Site, where the first atomic bomb test occurred in 1945.

Bighorn sheep, mule deer, and mountain lion are present in the area, which has retained much of its wilderness character outside of the few installations of the Missile Range.

[3] Like many of the San Andres Mountains, Salinas Peak is rugged, rising sharply 4,900 feet (1,500 m) out of the surrounding basins.
