Hiking Highlight
Recommended by 7 out of 8 hikers
This part of the Emery trail can be one of the easiest ones in the Sandia foothills. It is in open space, is a bit hilly, has hikers, joggers and bikers all using it at the same time and is a good place to start out, to get use to desert hiking if you have never been before. Various trails crisscross each other, but it's pretty hard to get lost, because you can see things for miles. There are other trails that are far more difficult, remote, up in the mountains and technically challenging, but it's hard to beat if you just want to go for a walk on something other than pavement.
