East Mountains
Surrounded by majestic Ponderosa Pines and expansive vistas, this area is growing faster than some people like. Populated with a mix of income brackets, age groups, and ethnic backgrounds, the east mountain area is seen as a retreat from the hustle and bustle of the big city, yet is just minutes away via I-40. You can ski Sandia Peak Ski Area in the morning and golf at the lush Paa-Ko Ridge Golf Club in the afternoon. Lodging in the East Mountains is limited to bed and breakfasts. The frenetic pace of the city is forgotten as visitors can enjoy a hot drink by a fire or sit on the porch and watch hummingbirds chase each other among the pines.
