Sandia Mountains: Sandia Mountains
  • Tip Rating:
  • Seen from anywhere in the city, the Sandia Mountains rise 10,300 plus feet over the city. The mountains make a beautiful backdrop for the city, providing breathtaking views especially during sunsets, when the mountains turn a rosy color as they reflect the light from the setting sun. There is a lot of mountain biking, hiking, skiing and just plain sight seeing to be had on this beautiful mountain.

    Parks & Monuments: Rio Grande River
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • There are many hiking trails along the bosque of the Rio Grande river. The river winds its way through the city with a lush cottonwood forest following it. You don't have to leave the city to get completely away from the city. Unfortunately, due to drought the river is really drying up.
