Eye of the Sandias

Good hike just on the SE Albuquerque. Though not many parking spots but you will always get one as walkers/hikers keep moving out after they are done.

First: DON'T FOLLOW The GOOGLE MAP!! It will take you to a wrong place. You have to go "Copper Trailhead" and start from there. It was about 4 miles moderate to difficult hikes if you take the whole loop, but definitely worth it with some great views. Trails are not well marked and you could lost the way. I made couple of attempts before becoming successful. I used maps from "alltrails" app to navigate my way. Bring water, snacks and pair of working gloves would be handy as you may have to do some rock climbing. Wear a hiking boot, long pants and clothes that you don't care if they scratch/tear. Watch your way for loose rocks, sands and snakes. One of my buddy fall really bad and luckily someone had a first aid kits!

The hike to the Eye of the Sandias was fun and challenging. It was about a 4-mile loop with 1500 feet of elevation gain. The Eye was really cool to see. It was definitely worth the effort to get there.
