This is an interesting hike that’s best done in the cooler season. It has a mix of very easy stretches punctuated with scrambles over rocks and a long switchback out of the steep walls of the embudo canyon. The top of the hike, which meets two other popular trails, greets you with a collection of very different and all exquisite views. You get a rock face to the east, a seemingly endless series of mountains to the south, and a view of the city and beyond to the west. I can’t think of anywhere else in the Sandias that gives you so much variety to look at.
