There are many great spots to go hiking in the Sandia mountains. For a short, easy hike that is easy to get to, park at the base of the mountains on Copper Ave NE (as far East as you can go, past Tramway). There you will find easy access to desert trails. For something more foresty, check out the Pino Trail at the Elena Gallegos picnic area (which is also a great place to just have a picnic in nature if you aren’t into hiking). Elena Gallegos charges $1 on weekdays and $2 on weekends for parking. Hiking at the top of the Sandia Peak Tramway is also beautiful and scenic.
