Best Running Trails near Albuquerque, New Mexico

There were some steep parts on the latter third of the trail. I wasn’t wearing the most comfortable shoes that day for hiking, but otherwise pretty moderate hike with clearly marked trail. Nice views.

Pretty quick trip around the loop.

Lots of short loop options, both on and off road, great for kids and bicycle and wheelchair accessible. Great winter hike-Hope to see more of it next time.

Awesome area for hiking, Trail running, mountain biking and bouldering. There is no shade in this area. Go early to beat the heat. Must bring water. There’s no water sources there.

Great hike

Please be advised: You have to PAY to park at this trailhead

February 15th. I started with Hawkwatch (anticlockwise) which is a steep hike up on the mountain. You will need maps to help you find the trail sometimes but common sense would help you as well. There was snow up to the knee at some stages especially on Hawkwatch, south crest trail and the peak. As usual, it was very windy on the peak so take something to protect your face. I only used poles; did not need spikes since the snow was fluffy and fresh. The views from the peak are fantastic and overall this hike is a good exercise. I only met 3 people in ~6 hours so both I and my dog enjoyed how peaceful it was.

Took my dog on her nightly hike. Trail is well maintained, not too difficult to get to the top although it is steep towards the peak its absolutely worth it. The views around sunset are magnificent

easy hike, good for trail running and mountain biking. the trail was little muddy today from the snow melt.

Beautiful, so much fun. Great views. The terrain was rough. There is mostly climbing on rocks up the mountain, so it was a harder hike, great for younger people.

very easy and short walk. I loved it and it had some nice scenery . Going clockwise is the easier hike.

Minor snow and ice still leftover. Lovely hike.
