The museum also has a fun seed bank. It's a very quick drive out of Albuquerque, but it feels like it's worlds away from the city. Honestly, if you're in Albuquerque, there's little reason not to visit.

From the owner: Tijeras Pueblo Archaeological Site is an ancient pueblo which was constructed and occupied from AD…read more1313 to 1425. It originally consisted of 200 rooms and was inhabited by perhaps 250 people. As the population waned, much of the structure deteriorated. However around 1390, there was a burst of new construction with approximately 100 rooms built on top of the original site. This structure was occupied until around 1425. Excavations of the site began in 1930, with the most recent conducted from 1971 to 1976. Upon completion of the field work, the site was back-filled to protect it from the elements and from looters. The site today includes the mound with a 1/3-mile-long trail with signage and a wheel-chair-accessible museum featuring educational exhibits. The Friends of Tijeras Pueblo provide membership, volunteer opportunities, monthly lectures, workshops, a Junior Archaeology Program, field trips, and other fun family activities. A bookstore is located in the nearby Sandia Ranger Station with maps, hiking guides, and area-related books.

Since the Copper Trailhead doesn't have its own entry, this is a combo review. Copper is considered…read morerelatively easy. The caveat is that the final approach to the U-Mound gets more complex and I gave up. But there's a consolation prize: the term "U-Mound" is apparently also used to refer to the general rocks in the vicinity, which are approachable via the easy trails. Given the incomplete maps online and reviews of the difficult trails around Embudo, the TL;DR take is that you should look for the 401 trail if you're into scenery but not trying to re-enact some grim 2012-era Sundance movie. There are many elevation options. While I didn't see wildflowers in April, there was a great cacti assortment. Geography note: there are buses relatively close to Copper Trailhead but the ABQ Ride schedule is not generous. As of press time there were no post-sunset buses so I took Lyft.

This area is family, friendly with a ride of different trails and pet friendly as well. Like other areas in the foothills do you have to watch out for cacti and other hazards. Still enjoying the views is worth getting out here. There's a good amount of parking and additional parking further out.
