Atalaya Mountain (Atalaya means Watchtower in Spanish) is located just east of downtown Santa Fe.  It’s a moderately challenging hike that takes you from 7,340 feet to 9,121 feet.  A popular trail with locals, it offers expansive views of the city and the surrounding mountains.

 

We love the Atalaya Mountain hike because it is close to town and it offers an invigorating escape into nature.  There are several options for making the ascent but many sections are steep.  Join us on this trek, learn about the flora and fauna of the area, and enjoy the stunning vistas.
