It was a bright and cool afternoon so I decided to take a walk up on the La Luz trail that climbs up to the top of Sandia Peak. I had no plan other than to visit the trail head and walk about a mile or so and take some pictures. I walked about three miles -- 1.5 miles out and back. This was my first visit.
This is an 8 mile trail and serious hikers get an early start for the 4,000 foot climb. I only saw a few people on the trail...mostly casual walkers.
The trail head is a parking area off of Tramway Blvd. on forest road 333 -- a $3.00 fee covers parking and access.
