El Cerro de Los Lunas Preserve

Lightly trafficked and full 360 degree views at the peak. I wouldn’t suggest this in the summer unless it’s real early in the morning as there is no shade. You can come up with a few different loop variations to mix things up or to get more distance.

North, south,east and west! If you hike or bike the overlook is challenging and interesting. But be observe of open space hours. You should estimate this as a challenging hike. And consider that its an area a to work up a good level of heart rate and if go long enough about 10 miles is possible during exploring. For some just to go up and back down to the parking lot for a couple of miles hike is awesome. Have fun close to Los Lunas and Belen. Some walk their mules and walk them up and then ride. Some bike and some fly kites! It is beautiful! Have fun!

You see this as you drive by it on the 25. It appears deceivingly small. It definitely is underappreciated. It is worth the detour. We spent 3 hours navigating around it and up to the top. The view is phenomenal. It really is a unique experience and recommend you add this to your bucket list to experience with friends and family. It isn't too challenging so if you're not really good at hiking or climbing this is a decent location to take something feasible on. I will be coming back!!!

El Cerro de Los Lunas is an overlooked and under appreciated place. So many people see the hill daily but never ascend it. There are cliffs, canyons, trees, and incredible rock formations.
