El Cerro de Los Lunas Preserve

"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!!!"

"Nice volcano with nice hiking trails and great views. This monogenectic volcano of the cat hills volcanic field erupted around 140,000 years ago. The Rio Grande rift is an interesting area to explore."

"Quiet peaceful beautiful desert terrain."

"Well marked and maintained trails. Scenic views from multiple locations and the top. Numerous loops to extend or shorten your hike. Trails are sandy at bottom, but firm up and get a rocky base as you ascend."

"Great family friendly trail. No shade at all, can be very hot go early. Park closed at sundown and the Open Space officers will come hunt you down if your past sundown. Will say a bit more trail upkeep could be done, wouldn't mind volunteering if there was a campaign for some trail upkeep. Facebook right next door should invest in the area around in including this park. Pro tip: hats, sunscreen and plenty of water."
