    Tips

    February 9, 2024

    Hiking

    This peak sees less traffic than the primary Sandia Peak to the north, so it's a nice opportunity for a getaway from the crowds. You'll still get stunning views from the top, though, along with a good sweat, as every route up involves quite a bit of elevation gain.

    The name of this peak (and the entire ridgeline it inhabits) means "watermelon" in Spanish; it refers to the lovely pinkish color these mountains take on when hit by low-angle sun.
