Outdoor Adventure
Albuquerque and the surrounding mountainous terrain is a paradise for hikers and bikers. Varying levels of trails crisscross the Sandia and Manzano Mountains for Albuquerque hiking or mountain biking. Not into heights? Venture out on the interconnected trail system throughout the city. The Paseo del Bosque Bike Trail is an easily accessible 15-mile route enjoyed by walkers, runners, cyclists, inline skaters and even horseback riders. Walkers and hikers can also take a historic hike through Petroglyph National Monument on the west side of the city.
Camping in Albuquerque is another possibility.
Road cyclists take advantage of bike lanes throughout Albuquerque as well as miles of open road surrounding the city. Challenging elevation changes plus dramatic scenic vistas with flats and hills make New Mexico a haven for cycling. Runners - including several Olympic distance runners - also take advantage of the benefits of altitude training in Albuquerque.
With sunny weather all year around, outdoor enthusiasts enjoy their favorite activities during all four seasons in Albuquerque.
