Sandia Heights shares its eastern border with National Forest land, and we are fortunate to have such easy access to the hiking  trails in the Sandia Mountains--for many residents, the trails are literally outside our back doors. Please note that there is no public access to the forest land through private property.  You must access the mountain trails by way of public trailheads.  In this section, you will find a trail map and list of trails, a guide to trail etiquette, and the Leave No Trace Principles.
