Sandia Crest to Close Until 2027 for Wildfire Safety: Phase One Begins in April
Sandia Crest will undergo a partial closure until 2027 to mitigate wildfire risks from dead and dying trees. The key communication site at the top, handling cellphone service and emergency systems for the metro area, is a concern. Phase one of the project, starting in April 2026, will treat 140 acres of forest land by removing hazardous trees and vegetation, funded by $1.2 million from the U.S. Forest Service. Popular spots like the Sandia Crest Recreation Area, trailheads, and trails will be closed, but some areas, such as the La Luz Trail and Sandia Peak Ski Area, will remain open.
