Sandia Mountain Wilderness Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Always go on the #adventure 🌈 When we set out for this hike it was pouring rain and less than 2 hours until sunset. There was at least a 50-50 chance that we would end our hike cold, wet, and in the dark. I guess we got lucky 😉✨

Hiking up Ellena Gallegos - beautiful day hike.
Taken from the hill on the left, right after the first cattle guard. Right off of tramway. Bad cell phone photo.
La Luz trail is a challenging 10 mile hike. It starts at the base of the Sandia Mountains on the west side and finishes at the top of cedar crest. The altitude change is about 6,000 feet. It's also a beautiful time to see the Aspen trees change.

Ride the tram up to Sandia Park in Albuquerque, New Mexico to see some spectacular views. A major bonus if you do this around hot air balloon festival week and you will see balloons hovering over the city. However the line/queue to ride the tram from the base can be quite long.
