Albuquerque hikes

“What's near Albuquerque? I'm going to be out there in July visiting a friend, and I'll have an opportunity to take a 3-4 day backpacking trip.

So far I'm looking at the Gila Wilderness, what else should I check out?”

“There's a large NF just minutes north of town. It should be able to meet the needs of a four-niter.

I thing BP'er Mag did a weekend wilderness bit about it recently.

I've driven thru Albuq., and the mountains are plainly visible from town.”

“In July, I'd head for the Pecos Wilderness. Another great place I have been in July is the Bandelier Wilderness area, but water is scarce and it can get hot. The backcountry ruins there are way too cool.”

“hmmmm....this may show up as a duplicate. I know I posted it but it doesn't show.
