It takes about an hour+ to get to from Albuquerque. This trail is moderate to slightly strenuous as it involves a lot of uphill hiking but the scenery is great. Bring a camera, wear sturdy hiking boots, a backpack with snacks for lunch and several bottles of water. You might want a headband for sweat and a roll of toilet paper and some plastic bags as there are no toilets on the way.
