Easy hiking and mountain biking on service road through aspens in cool mountain air.

Take a drive up our local mountains. Some of our favorite hikes include Aspen Vista (longer and steep), Bear Wallow (nice circuitous loop near a creek) , and Chamisa Trail (short and sweet) Just remember, the altitude at the top is 10,000 feet. If you're coming from an area closer to sea level, it will be more challenging.

If you're in Santa Fe during when the Aspen trees change colors (usually right around the first week of October) this is a must walk... not difficult, not long... stunning views.

What can I say about this place? When the aspens have "turned" (usually mid-Oct) this area is absolutely breath-taking. According to scientists, it is the largest single continuous aspen grove in the U.S. It is located on the way to the ski hill. Moderate parking available. Take water, drink it. You are well over 10,000 ft at that point. It is a moderately strenuous hike, you can stop whenever you want to though. It's amazing. Pack a picnic lunch and be prepared for autumn splendor.
