The last time I did it I was scrambling up a steep rock face, and there was a gentleman waiting for me at the top of the rock face who encouraged me by saying, "you are almost at the crash site!" When I told him that I knew because I had been there before, he responded in amazement and asked, "why the heck did you come back?!" Yep, for many, it is that kind of hike! I believe it is rated at 4.8 out of 5 in difficulty, and by the time you finish the last half mile or so you will probably agree. Download a topographic trail (i.e. AllTrails) map on your phone, and you might need to bring an extra power source, because your phone may drain down searching for a cell signal while you lay down electronic breadcrumbs on the digital map. However, there are two places where it is almost guaranteed that you will miss a turn, and add some "bonus" miles. You definitely don't need "bonus " miles on this hike. You pass through at least 2-3 biomes as you ascend and descend. It's an interesting hike, but be prepared to give yourself a pep talk or two along the way Up. Also, expect your legs to be shaky by the bottom. Decending is a lot of eccentric contractions, which only fire about half the muscle fibers as concentric contractions. You can fact check that yourself. This is a hike to build up to. Remember - the best rescue is a self rescue! Have fun, be smart, and be safe.

Thank you for reading this Cliff's Amusement Park review. Although this is one of the smallest…read moreamusement parks I've been to around the world, I still enjoyed my time. Cliff's has about 25 rides, carnival or State Fair-like games and there's also a waterpark.  Food is available by using a preloaded Funcard that is available for purchase online or at the main gates.  NO CASH IS ACCEPTED!   ***NOTE:***  Thank you Cliff's for honoring all military.  Active Duty personnel and Veterans get a FREE Single Day Ticket. Just prove that you've served or currently serving by showing your CAC, DoD or ID Card at one of the main entrance booths. Save time by purchasing your entry ticket online at:   https://www.cliffsamusementpark.com/buy-tickets/ Arrive as early as possible for the line that almost goes to Osuna.  The line does quickly move.  Going to Cliff's as an adult kid takes on a whole new meaning.  The rides were amazing but does rattle your bones or make you a tad bit nauseous.  Start off with the Rocky Mountain Rapids or water rides because you'll want your clothes to be dry before crawling back to your vehicle. The Seadragon was the ride that took me out. I tried going on as many rides possible that my body and stomach would allow.  Cliff's is opened Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend.  Have a great time with the kids, or, you can be a big kid too. Enjoy and use sunscreen!

First time at Urban Air in ABQ. We came for a bday party and it was in a party room upstairs. They…read moreonly have stairs and no elevators, so it was inconvenient when I brought a stroller. Check-in was easy, but it took the attendant awhile to get our socks and wristbands. We had to wait over an hour after the party time for pizza. The room was only reserved for 2 hrs. For $100/hr, that's unacceptable. But it was a Saturday afternoon, and the place was packed. The place is run by all teenagers and really young people. At least, the food tasted pretty good. They had pepperoni pizza, that had a good crust, buffalo bone-in wings, which were really tasty and hot, but didn't come with celery or carrots, with ranch dressing, and 9 Icees. The ambiance is very dark and very loud. The whole place is overstimulating. There are kids flying above you on a zip line, trampolines and rock climbing in the back, ball pits, and jungle gym areas in the corner. They have so much to do, but some areas cost extra like the skydiving tube, zipline, and rock climbing. This place is definitely best for kids above 8 years old. My kids are under 6 and mostly enjoyed the ball pit and jungle gym. I wouldn't consider this place very safe bc it's so crowded and dark. It's hard to find your kids. Thankfully, I dressed mine in the same green Minecraft t-shirts. They glow like they're under a black light. Also, with kids and adults running around, we get bumped very easily. Side note: They don't allow outside food unless it's a cake. The party room price didn't include food and drinks! They paid about $700 for 20-30 ppl in the room.

We saw the summer pass special for $59/person but it requires you to purchase online only. We did that but every time we purchased a pass or added a person it logged us out. It took 25 minutes to buy the passes online and then we had to check in, wait for wristbands, and purchase socks separately. It is decent to come when they open to play with kids. After noon or so it becomes chaos and there are so many kids running around and just not paying attention. They could use attendants at each attraction to ensure safety and that younger kids understand things like one way or exits to things so they don't get pummeled by older kids. Climbing was fun but there is definitely a limit and attendants could communicate to kids or adults waiting instead of completely ignoring people waiting. We'll come back to make sure we get value out of the pass but only for morning when they open.

I'll start off saying what we all know but Tingley Beach is really not a beach…read more However, that doesn't mean you shouldn't check it out. In my experience, it's been a great spot for enjoy enjoying the beautiful weather and taking a brisk walk with friends. I do recommend being cautious about your surroundings and staying in the more populated areas as I've done a few volunteer cleanups in the area and as you get into the brush, you never know what you'll find. The views of the mountains are absolutely gorgeous and the wildlife are very entertaining to watch.

Not overly special, but accessible areas with ponds in the vastness of a concrete jungle are great…read more There is a catch & release pond and a catch and take pond. We didn't make it to the 3rd one. The catch ponds are supposed to be stocked. Can't say for sure because we weren't fishing today. Just a nice leisurely puppy walk along the trail. Too warm to stay on the pavement or gravel areas so it was a short walk.

What an amazing experience to be able to ride the Sandi Peak Tram! It has been on my list of things…read moreto do in ABQ for quite some time. Staff was friendly and willing to answer any and all questions. Our guide up the mountain was extremely knowledgeable about the area and shared lots of interesting and unique facts with us. Despite it being cloudy at the top, the views going up and down were amazing. While at the top, we decided to walk around and explore a little. Some things you note; the temperature drops considerably up at the top. Bring some layers! Bring some snack to enjoy as the restaurant isn't always open and can be a little spendy. Definitely a must-do in ABQ!

The Sandia peak tramway takes you ~10k feet up the mountain from where you can view the Albuquerque…read morecity limits and surrounding mountain ranges. You can purchase tickets online for a two hour window to ride the tramway up. After that you can spend as much time as you like at the peak before heading back down. We bought our tickets for the 3-5 PM window which is a popular slot as many people like to watch the sunset from the top. It is a gorgeous sight to watch the sunset from the peak and even more so as the lights turn on throughout the city below. It was also very cold in December so make sure you bundle up before taking the tram. One drawback is that the tram only runs every 15 minutes and there's a huge live to go back down after the sunset. It was almost an hour's wait to take the trip back.

The main highlight of this trail is the tranquil freshwater springs. There are also some lovely views, looking out across the nearby neighborhoods to the distant mountains. In spring, this area is a great place to see a variety of different wildflowers in bloom. The three springs are for visual pleasure only and are covered in algae. It gives a nice surreal feel to them and we got great pictures. It was still cool when we set off, took us 60 years olds 40 mins with stops to catch our breath. At the top you can continue on the 1.8 loop back to the car park. We retraced our steps coming down and it was not even 20 mins.

We also passed a good number of families and pups. The spring itself has signs that say for viewing only- so be sure to stay clear of the springs.
