Sandia Mountain Wilderness, NM

Travel 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.

Albuquerque is not a big town and can easily move from another hotel to the casino/course/event venue almost as fast as it takes you to park and walk back to the hotel. We called to enquire if early check in was an option ...
