Unfortunately, we never got to go on this tour. I should have read the bad reviews before booking…read morewith this tour operator. Just like several who wrote reviews, we booked this tour not knowing how awful the owner is. We booked a non-refundable ticket; no issue there. The website, tour rep, and confirmation email all state that if we can't fly because of weather, we can rebook for any time. We booked yesterday, AFTER speaking with a rep who assured us we would be able to fly. The rep was very confident, so we purchased. When we arrived, we were assured again that we could fly. We got on the van, signed the waiver, and then they canceled. It felt a bit sketchy because many other operators were flying, and I hadn't experienced this "Weather". All of that is fine! The major issue is that the rep, the website, and the cancellation email told us we could book any other available day. Naturally, we tried to book for the next day, or the following day, and of course, we couldn't. We checked the website, and BOTH days were available. Not only available, but there were 10 open seats. We contacted the owner and she was beyond rude. The owner admitted that there were slots available, but said we couldn't rebook for another day! Their policy specifically states we can rebook. In fact, they told us we could rebook whenever we wanted; that was the final reason we booked the ticket! She is a LIAR and very RUDE! I've attached screenshots of her saying we can't rebook, along with their cancellation policy, which specifically says we can book. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY.

I got this on Groupon since it was priced nicely…read more I was very leary of the comments since there were many stating no shows. That was not the case on my visit. I got a confirmattion text the day before and the van with the balloon was at Starbucks well before we arrived. It departed at 6am. Ride was great and workers were helpful. The one red flag is the duration. Groupon said 4 hours. It lasted from 6:02am got in the air and all and then were driven back to Starbucks ny 7::42am. Really nice guy, but if I'm being completely honest, I feel he cut it short so he could save his propane, get us back on the ground so he could squeeze in another booking. Beyond that it was a great first time experience and much knowledge was shared. The duration difference of what we actually got did leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Had a strange and fun round at Brent Baca memorial. I was in…read moretown last week and wanted to try a course in Albuquerque that I hadn't played before. Brent Baca was top of the list. I got there the on a very chilly morn. the area feels a little sketchy as its a ways out of town, and the only thing nearby was something like a recycling plant or something. I was the only one there as ai pulled up. the course in front of me had random odds and ends includign a couch and some tires too. I just told myself it was part of the experience. The course was wide open. I didn't have to aim around things much, just get the distance down. Most holes were on the shiortwer side so despite the cold I wsa able to park it often. After a few holes a group of about 6 started behind me, which made me feel better about being out in the middle of no where on my own. By the end I really appreciated the course, and the nice views. I'll be back next time in town for sure.

This is a great disc golf course! The front nine are relatively short (though still quite a bit…read morelonger than other courses in ABQ) but still fun. They provide a nice warm up with a few very technical areas. Watch out for the ravine that runs through the course! The back nine are much longer! If you play from the round, longer tees, you're in for some serious par 4's. For me, that means par 5... The course is fun, technical and not crowded. Nice! The only drawback is the lack of shade. But hell, we live in the desert! Bring a hat and some sunscreen, and plenty of water, and you'll be fine. Oh, and plan for some serious goats head thorns! Long pants and real shoes are absolutely essential! Take some time to drive out toe Brent Baca and you will have a great game!

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.
