This is one spectacular hike. Starting on the south end and heading north. We will hike the length of the Sandia Mountains and experience the beauty of wildflowers and enjoy great views in every direction. There are steep elevation gains for the first half of the hike and then a gradual downhill from mile 14 thru the completion. We plan to have lunch at High Finance restaurant at the tram on the top of Sandia Mountain. If you are fading, you can take the tram down at the halfway point. This is one of our toughest hikes, and we maintain a brisk pace. However, it is a great trek that you will find tremendously rewarding!
