"Beautiful vista. Hiked the La Luz Trail to La Cueva Overlook and then on up to the Sandia Crest. Odd story - we intended to hike to the Sandia Tram, but a crime scene along the trail closed the La Luz to the tram, so we changed course to the Sandia Crest. " — rick-brown • Oct 21, 2023

"First time back to Sandia Crest since 1999. It's odd to see it so empty and kind of left behind- I guess the tramway has taken all the funding and the people? Still gorgeous. Next time I'll do the hike to North Sandia Peak, but I was with my mom so we just did the simple nature trail and walked around the Crest. " — psychikingjes • Oct 6, 2023

"Lovely hike up the mountain from a hairpin turn overlook two miles to the summit. Gorgeous weather with cool winds making the temps very pleasant. Saw our first Horned Toad (Lizard) near the summit and four Mule Deer including one buck." — rick-brown • Sep 22, 2023

"Beautiful evening hike from ver rugged Water Canyon Road to the summit near the Magdalena Ridge Observatory. Followed the two-track from the road to the summit. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!" — rick-brown • Aug 18, 2023

"Oh hey, 2 summits for one! Who knew?? This started off as a 1-hr trail run, but someone planted the seed and I couldn't be deterred from going for the summit. I was told it was two miles closer than it ended up being, and this was quit the climb on no breakfast and a handful of gummi bears. I called a friend to pick me up at the top, mostly because going back down would be way too hot for my dog. Bad decisions were made, but I got two more summits, and no one died, so... WIN!" — tmetz1226 • Jun 17, 2023
