Sulphur Canyon #281 and Cienega Horse Bypass #266 Loop

12/07/21

This little hike has some minor elevation gain in the beginning through the Cibola forest, then flattens out on the backside of the loop for some nice views of the surrounding towns. Went on a Tuesday and didn’t see any other hikers. Giving it 4/5 because the beginning and end is walking along the road instead of a trail. There were cars passing us and little shoulder room. Otherwise, this is a year round trail and great option in the fall to see the leaves change colors.

Sandia Crest Trail

This point-to-point hike took me about 11.5 hours to complete, however I consider myself to be in decent hiking shape and was moving at about 2.5 miles per hour for the majority of the hike. I would give yourself ample time if you want to complete this in 1 day or you can back country primitive camp if you want to break up the hike into 2 days. If you decide to break the hike up I recommend cam...

This is a hiking area in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains. This route is a 3.9 mile heavily trafficked loop up Oso Ridge and down Embudito Canyon.

After 0.1 miles, this will crossover another path running north to south...
