Be ready for strong winds or breezes, but you're going to experience a remarkable view! From this point you can actually see as far as the San Mateo, Mount Taylor, Cabezon Peak, Ortiz, Redondo Peak, San Pedro, Jemez Mountains, and an incredible view of the valley where Albuquerque rests tranquilly amidst the middle at 5,994 feet, and Sandia Crest being at 10,678 feet. A wonderful experience for a once in a lifetime bucket list view!

Drive up the gradual slope on the east side to the summit. As on other country roads, please pull into paved turnouts to let faster drivers pass. Near the peak, there is overflow parking to the south of the road. There is a helipad near the overflow parking. Enjoy the sharp drop to the west, with views over the Rio Grande Valley and Albuquerque! Good view of the radio masts, nicknamed the Radio Forest. We visited this attraction in mid-October.

Overall, the trail is not anything too steep, just long at over 8 miles round trip and a 3500 elevation increase and the trail easy enough to find on the map via google maps or alltrails.com. It took us about 2 hours 35 minutes to reach the top of the trail where the plane crash is and about 2 hr 15 min on the way down. Seeing the plane crash site is worth it and humbling, although I probably won't take this one again for awhile. Others met La Luz at the top where the trail connects and loops back around toward Pino (about 16 miles). The views in the fall are just wow- the leaves changing, the sunlight, some water in the creek. Watch out for bears, snakes, and poison ivy, other than that you'll be fine! Bring plenty of water and start off early enough before it gets dark (the parking lot opens at 7!). Help me- my legs are still sore 2 days later from this lol 2020 #32

During the pandemic, we've been getting to know Mother Nature better than ever, whether we're exploring the beaches of the Rio Grande, the outdoor art gallery that is Petroglyph National Monument, or taking a quick ride to the Sandia Mountains. Sulphur Canyon Trail was our adventure last weekend and there's not a lot to report; like much of the trails in this neck of the woods it was beginner level, occasionally teetering on moderate, a gradual uphill, on a Saturday there were plenty of hikers and dogs but I'm told it's hardly traveled during the week. The trail was easy to follow and now I know that when we saw the sign for Cienega Trail we shouldn't have followed that arrow. Next time we won't. Plan on paying a $3 parking fee and grabbing lunch at a table in the Sulphur Springs picnic area.
