Best places: Hiking areas in Sandoval County, United States

👍👍 Discovering History, Nature, and Pleasure at Bandelier National Monument ★★★★★ My visit to the Bandelier National Monument was precisely the stimulating, serene escape I had been looking for while visiting Santa Fe. The easy hiking trail, far from being taxing, offered breathtaking views of the flo...

👍👍 This is a great trail for all ages. I took the little kids 4 and 6 along with their grandparents and it was a beautiful hike. We only did a little more than a half mile out but between the stream and views everyone had a great time. Perfect spots for picnics and the little ones to splash and play in...

👍👍 Had a great time!! It wasn't too hot either. Just dip your feet in the stream and you will cool down FAST!

👍👍 Beautiful hike. Good climb in elevation so make sure to bring good shoes and water. No cost for the hike or for parking. We took about 2+ hours to go up and down.

👍👍 I went here today for the first time. We just moved to Rio Rancho and it’s actually really close to our house. The hike was really pleasant. Only a slight incline on the way up the mountain, enough to get the heart beating a little bit but not so bad that my anti-hiking 5-year-old cared too much. Go...

👍👍 Definitely not a place for beginners! Even if you are expirieced, there will be some sections that are still very challenging. Bring plenty of hidration and snacks. It's a stunning place so you will be stopping to soak in the views!

👍👍 A great location for easy rockhounding with multiple specimens of jasper and selenite everywhere! The beautiful views are definitely a bonus. It's great for hiking and biking with multiple trails along the main one for different sites to see such as the chalk dust trail.

👍👍 A great way to spend the day! If you arrive before 9, you can drive into the canyon, otherwise you'll need to take the shuttle! The pueblo loop is wonderful and you can take it as slow as you want. It is an incredible and culturally rich place to visit!

👍👍 Went counterclockwise and it's a good thing because it was rocky and steep going up. Nice hike. The views are great. The trail is very narrow! Would do this one again!

👍👍 Lovely trail (Piedra Lisa). Decent amount of snow (2-3 in) on Jan 8 starting at few miles in. I drive a 2wd with low clearance and was able to get to the trailhead.

👍 Want to break up your drive from Jemez or Cuba to Albuquerque with a quick & easy, but beautiful loop hike through a nature reserve? Try the Perea Nature Trail, by San Ysidro off of NM-550. Signs mark local plants of note for a botanical lesson with the scenery. Free parking!

👍👍 A quiet setting in Jemez mountain to just relax and clear your mind.
