Oak Flats Walkabout – 09/03/2022
Taking a bit more time this morning for our customary morning walk, we drove out to Tijeras Canyon, then up NM 337 to Cedro and Albuquerque’s Oak Flats Open Spaces. In addition to this change of venue from our walks … Continue reading
Hawk Watch Loop – 04/07/2022, 04/17/2022
The trails in Tijeras Canyon, like Hawk Watch, are favorites – close to home, just challenging enough to keep our physical condition, and nice scenery too. Because it is so close to the city (but not -in- the city), I’m … Continue reading
Oak Flats Trail Walkabout – 10/11/2021
Tijeras is close to home, and the Oak Flats area makes for a nice walkabout (I refer to a walkabout as a “hike” less than a couple of miles and we don’t bring lunch or snacks). The Drive In From … Continue reading
Oak Flats Walkabout – 04/20/2021
Another hike without a preconceived plan – we felt a need to get out for a few hours. The Drive In Oak Flats is close to our home in downtown Albuquerque, close for everyone living in Albuquerque. Go eastbound on … Continue reading

This was a return to a trail that always intrigues me – one that someday I hope to take to the top of South Sandia peak. It is so close at hand – just beyond Tramway (the eastern boundary of … Continue reading
Oak Flats-Ponderosa Trails Hike – 05/09/2019
‘Twas a chilly day with rain all around, but we wanted to get out for a hike. Chose the Ponderosa trail because it was easy (we’d hiked it back in 2016). Mother Nature had blessed the area with rain within … Continue reading
Three Gun Spring Trail Hike – 03/29/2019
It has been a long time since Pat and I have hiked in the Sandias; last time was in 2017, coincidentally on Mar 30 we hiked the Three Gun Spring Trail. We had also hiked there on three outings back … Continue reading
Three Gun Springs Trail Hike – 01/15/2010
I’ve lost the GPS track for this hike, but I found among my gazillion Hiking files this screen shot that confirms – we -really did- hike Three Gun Springs in 2010. The placemarks show the turnaround point on each hike.
