LAS CRUCES – Sarah Silva was hiking with her partner, journalist Heath Haussamen, one day last July on the Achenbach Canyon Trail in the Organ Mountain Desert Peaks National Monument.
Both experienced hikers and hunters, the couple had seen Facebook posts reporting sightings of oryx, a large antelope species native to Africa, close to the trail. They decided to hike up and see if they would spot one themselves.
