20 Feb Albuquerque – Cited as a Top-Ranked U.S. Adventure Destination by Global Traveler
Albuquerque has long attracted adventurers with a hankering for the great outdoors. Named by Global Traveler at the top for Adventures Destinations in the U.S., there’s plenty to keep you busy. ABQtodo, Albuquerque & Bernalillo County’s premier events calendar, suggests spending a day exploring the Sandia Foothills.
“More than 5 trails and numerous picnic areas are sprinkled throughout the Sandia foothills. Trails range from easy to moderate with elevation gains allowing hikers to easily distinguish three zones: dessert, forest and above treeline. Trailheads provide access to foothills trails as well as the Sandia Mountain Wilderness Area. Find more info about the open space here and detailed information on hikes here.”
