Atalaya Mountain is one of Santa Fe's premier hiking destinations, offering a rewarding trek through high-desert forest in the Sangre de Cristo foothills. Trailheads near St. John's College direct hikers along well-marked paths featuring steady inclines and steeper upper options. Reaching the peak at over 9,100 feet rewards adventurers with panoramic vistas across the city and surrounding valley.
