 Massive Moorish-style winery |
733 Chavez Rd Albuquerque, NM 87107 United States +1 505 344 5911 http://www.vabq.com/ABQlinks/C... |
The North Valley is home to many impressive structures and Casa Rondena Winery is one of the most unique. This Moorish castle encloses a huge wine making operation that produces respected cabernet and sauvignon wines. The winery's Serenade is a fruity, slightly dry dessert wine. The owner and wine maker spent 20 years in southern Spain, where he learned his art, and found himself enthralled by the Moorish architecture. Mountains and streams meander across the grounds that are surrounded by the giant cottonwoods of the Rio Grande Bosque. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Private lake on Isleta Pueblo |
4001 Highway 47 Southeast PO Box 1270 Albuquerque, NM 87022 United States +1 505 869 3111 |
Located on the Pueblo of Isleta, these lakes have been developed for fishing, camping and picnicking. Created along the huge cottonwood trees of the Rio Grande Bosque, this is a great spot for you to while away the day while relaxing in the relatively cool shade. Some fairly large trout have been taken here, so don't get discouraged by the smaller stock-sizes. The lakes are owned and operated by the pueblo government, and stocked with rainbow trout. The pueblo has recently added the convenience of a RV campground. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Well-hidden Day Hike |
Tribal Road 92 SW Albuquerque, New Mexico 87105 United States +1 5057618700 |
A well-hidden secret that is gaining popularity since it became a National Monument in 2001, Tent Rocks is certainly worth the 52-mile drive from Albuquerque. Start on the easy, 1.2 mile Cave Loop Trail and connect to the more difficult 1.5 mile Canyon Trail (one way). Meander through shoulder-width slot canyons leading to a steep 630-foot climb to the top of a mesa where your reward is sweeping views of the Sangre de Cristo, Jemez, and Sandia mountains. Along the way, view cone-shaped tent rock formations – the products of volcanic eruptions sculpted by wind and water. These unique geological formations are only found here and in Turkey. -Linda Steinmuller Review © 2007, Wcities |

Challenging hike to Sandia Crest |
2113 Osuna Road Northeast Suite A, Cibola National Forest Albuquerque, NM 87113 United States +1 505 346 3900 http://www.fs.fed.us/r3/cibola/ |
If you are up to the challenge of a hike through four life zones, that climbs from 7,080 feet to 10,280 in just under eight miles, La Luz Trail offers you an alpine escape from the concrete jungle. On weekends, the trail is crowded with day hikers, joggers and their pets. The trail switchbacks upward among granite spires, ponderosa pines, and quaking aspens. Near the top, the trail forks. The right fork takes you to Sandia Crest; the left fork terminates at the Sandia Peak Tramway. Take along plenty of water. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Hike historical grounds |
6001 Unser Blvd Northwest Albuquerque, NM 87120 United States +1 505 899 0205 http://www.cabq.gov/openspace/... |
Take a historical hike among 15,000, ancient rock drawings which date back thousands of years (just remember to bring a camera, some comfortable walking shoes and a hat). The 7,100-acre monument contains some of the nation's largest natural displays of prehistoric artwork. Anasazi nomadic hunters etched various drawings and messages onto the black basalt boulders of the escarpment just west of the Rio Grande. This is an adventurous, educational experience. Visitors can take a ranger-guided tour that can last up to two hours or explore various trails on their own. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Old Town's park |
1800 Mountain Rd Albuquerque, NM 87104 United States +1 505 873 6620 |
After a long day of walking around Old Town, touring the New Mexico Museum of Natural History or attending meetings downtown, find a quiet spot under a massive cedar tree in this old park. Sitting between the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and the Albuquerque Museum, this park is spacious enough to host soccer and a friendly game of neighborhood football. There always seems to be a game of hoops taking place on one of the park's four basketball courts. Review © 2007, Wcities |
