La Luz Trail

April 23, 2023

The La Luz Trail goes from the base of the Sandia Mountains at the outskirts of Albuquerque up to the Sandia Crest. This was my first time making the difficult hike and was a little surprised to still find so much snow along the upper third. The tram was out of service for some maintenance, so I did the full, round-trip hike.
