Aden Crater is a crater in Doña Ana County, New Mexico. It is located between Santa Teresa, New Mexico and Las Cruces, New Mexico. The crater is a remote location that can be hiked and explored. The area has deep caverns that can be very dangerous to inexperienced hikers and spelunkers.[2] A ground sloth, now at Peabody Museum, was found in a lava tube here.
