The Atalaya Mountain Trail is a fun hike with great views of Santa Fe and the surrounding mountains. Atalaya is Spanish for “watchtower,” which is fitting considering the views from the summit. This trail follows an out and back route. Because of its length and overall elevation change, most consider this a moderate hike. The Atalaya mountain trail is one of the most popular hikes with Strava members in Santa Fe. If you’re planning to arrive by car, there is ample parking near the trailhead at St. John’s College.
