Sandia Park, NM

Just outside of Albuquerque, NM is Sandia Mountain,  10,000+ feet. It is next to the Sandia Indian Reservation and Casino.  We drove up to Sandia Park, a little park at the top of the mountain that has some hiking trails. 

Once you get on top you can look down over the city of Albuquerque.

From the Sandia Casino you can ride a tram to the top of the mountain and go to their restaurant or hike on the trails.

As we travel around we often see the works of the CCC.  Here is a cabin that has stood for over 70 years in a very inhospitable place. It has a concrete ceiling if you want to climb up for a better view.

It was chilly but the puppies enjoyed the hike anyway.
