Best places: Hiking areas in Bernalillo County

2.7-mi aerial tram ride with Albuquerque & mountain views to a peak with trails, skiing & dining.

👍👍 My favorite trail to South peak. First two miles are no shade but the rest is beautiful. Almost 12 miles round trip. And the most Elevation change out if all the trails if you are looking for a challenge. I made my new record on this day 4 hours and 1 minute.

👍👍 Great area for a quick hike. Beautiful scenery. I didn't have much time and this has some short trails as well as longer hikes with great views.

👍👍 Definitely worth the easy hike! Views are insane. Cabin is awesome as well, but I could see how mass crowds could ruin everything. We went on a weekday in October, and was not really the warmest or calmest day at all. There were two people there when we just got to the cabin, but nobody else the re...

👍👍 I always love visiting this trail head. So many options to take. I live in Colorado now and these foothills in Albuquerque are truly a gem. Many great spots to view the city, run, bike, hike, walk.

👍👍 Great spot. Go super early before it’s gets hot !! Hiking around ABQ is under rated. Novice and enjoyable. Trails are well kept. Bring water and lots of it!

👍👍 Absolutely gorgeous when the leaves are turning. The beginning of the trail is fairly easy and family friendly.

👍👍 I hadn't heard of this place. I had asked someone where she liked to hike, and she said the foothills. So, later that day I looked at the landscape to see the hills, and found this park. I would recommend wearing hiking shoes (I was wearing sandals, and I couldn't go as high up the hill I had desir...

Open space & an active farming area featuring dog-friendly hiking/biking trails & wildlife habitats.

Rustic desert park featuring low-key day hikes amid numerous petroglyphs carved into volcanic rocks.

👍👍 Absolutely a must visit in Albuquerque.. great to see such well preserved petroglyphs.. will need a car to get here.. there are number of sites.. Best one is Piedras Marcadas Canyon which was approx 15 mins drive from main visitor centre.. Piedras Marcadas Canyon itself is very accessible, allow a...

Popular with hikers & mountain bikers, this trail offers rugged scenery, shrubs & diverse wildlife.

Accessible & equestrian parking area & ADA picnic area with educational signage near the trailhead.

👍 I loved checking out the petroglyps, easy hike and only about 2.2 miles. I visited this place just before the balloon fiesta so I am not from the area. I highly advice anyone that is not from here to make sure you take all valuables out of your car don't leave nothing visible for people to take. Car...

👍👍 Great trailhead leading to a couple of different trails. The Tavertine Falls path takes you to a very cool cave, and if the season has been wet enough, a small waterfall! Be sure to check this place out on one of your hiking adventures!

👍👍 Pretty trail. Went up toward the ski resort and tram. Beautiful views.

👍👍 I expected there to be water, but alas, I should have read previous reviews before hiking. The falls were really close and dry. At least they didn’t have litter or valdalism. We Co tied to the lookout on the long fork on Crest 13. It was relatively empty. We passed about 4 parties in 5 hours. By the...
