Description

Each year over 2 million visitors to New Mexico’s Sandia Mountains enjoy more than 100 miles of trails, mountaineering, hiking, running, biking, skiing, and birding, in addition to viewing the mountains from hang gliders and hot air balloons. This guide will help visitors in discovering the diverse natural features of the Sandias.

Field Guide to the Sandia Mountains includes sections on ecology, including weather and fire, geology, flora (grasses, flowers, trees) and fauna (arthropods, reptiles and amphibians, birds, mammals), and recreational opportunities. Plant keys and fauna checklists add to the book’s features.

Rather than a comprehensive field guide, the selections offer the most regularly encountered species in every category, presenting information on just over 100 species of flowers, as an example, among almost 500 species that may be found in the mountains.

A labor of love conceived by the Sandia Ranger District and the New Mexico Friends of the Forest (now referred to as Friends of the Sandia Mountains), this book is a resource no visitor to the Sandias will have to be without.
