Book Description
The most complete and up-to-date resource for Sandia Mountain hikers, this guide presents information on fifty-seven trails covering a total distance of about 175 miles. Each trail entry begins with the length of the trail, the elevation gain, and degree of difficulty. The author, who has hiked each trail many times, gives directions to the trailhead and descriptions of trail terrain, scenic viewpoints, vegetation, and neighboring trails for making nice loop hikes. Also included are GPS readings to help high-tech hikers locate landmarks and points of interest via latitude and longitude information. The book contains twenty-five contour maps covering the trails in different sections of the Sandias and a separate large, full-color map of the mountain (also sold separately: 0-8263-3715-5) printed on water-resistant paper. The hiking trails of the Sandias are among the great recreational assets of life in north-central New Mexico, yet many hikers are familiar with only one particular trail, La Luz, which is one of the mountain's more challenging and crowded routes. This book will encourage novices and veterans alike to get out and experience the many other inviting trails to be explored in the Sandia Mountains.

 Good Resource January 2, 2006

I've been hiking this area since 1983. My bible for the Sandias is Mike Hill's "Hikers & Climbers Guide to the Sandias". However, the last edition is well out of date and I supplement with this book. When I decide it is time to explore a new area of the Sandias in depth, I take out both books and the maps provided therewith, set my GPS and make notes about terrain and when I have the time I'm off. Now if someone could just write one book that combines all this information, I'll be in hiker heaven!

now, just because we all know Mike doesn't mean these reviews are baised. This is an excellent book and it's easy to use. I would reccommend this book to anyone in Albuquerque that wants a beautiful hike, but doesn't know where to go. It is true that there are a lot more trails than just La Luz.
This is such an awsome guide August 28, 2005

I must say this i probably one of the best guides for the sandia mountains in a long time. knowing the author myself i can tell you he definitely knows what he is talking about when it comes to the sandia moutains. it says it took him twenty or so years to hike them all, well before he wrote the book he decided to hike them again and it took him 3 months. Now thats detication.
A fantastic resource! November 26, 2004

This book is a fantastic resource. I have watched the author over the years put this guide together with painstaking precision, love and care. The full-scale map alone is worth the price of the entire book!
