Many trails in the Sandias are multiple use. Please practice trail courtesy. There are perennial and intermittent springs and streams on the mountain, but visitors should always carry their own water.
TRAIL COURTESY
Every year the mountain exacts a toll of victims from the unwary, the unprepared, and the unfit. The chief hazards to be aware of are storms (always dress in layers), dehydration, heat exhaustion, heat stroke, falling trees, and getting lost.
Danger Tree Alert
Due to years of drought, disease and insect infestation, thousands of trees have died in recent years. Watch for falling trees. There is a risk of YIELD TO death or serious injury. Hazards increase during windy conditions. Recreate at your own risk. Danger trees are being removed from developed sites outside designated wilderness. In the Sandia Mountain Wilderness, danger trees will be left to fall naturally, in order to preserve and protect wilderness character as required by the Wilderness Act of 1964.
