The Sandia Crest is among Albuquerque’s not-hidden jewels — literally the crown soaring above the city.
This high point was considered sacred to the indigenous ancestors and their descendants who care for the living land. Much of what has been done in the name of “progress” by those who colonized and settled here has stolen the sacred heart from this place.
Today trails and tram offer multiple access points to this wild nature right next to the metropolis. Crest trails meander all the way over to Placitas, approximately 15 miles North of the city.
