Itinerary description

Hiking - La Luz Trail goes up Sandia Mountain to reach Sandia Crest at 3,100 m (10,170 ft).
I didn't calibrate the barometer so this track is a bit offset.
Start from the parking lot (US$ 3.00 self-pay admission) and descent via the tram car (US$ 12.00 one-way per person). Especially in summer, an early start is recommended as most of the way up is in the shade.
We had the luxury of having a friend driving us back to the parking lot. A walk under the scorching sun would have been miserable!
