Summary
In this video, I head out to Petroglyph National Monument to hike the Albuquerque Volcanoes—a chain of dormant cinder cones formed thousands of years ago. You’ll see what the terrain actually looks like on the ground, what it feels like to hike up the cones, and how accessible this area is if you’re visiting Albuquerque. The video captures the contrast between raw volcanic rock, open desert, and distant city views, along with a grounded look at the trail conditions, effort level, and overall experience. If you’re into desert hiking, geology, or just finding unique spots that aren’t crowded, this gives you a real sense of what to expect from this part of New Mexico.
