Hiking into the National Forest starts 100 yards from the driveway or right out the door and up into the hills. You love to fish? Go trout fishing in the Rio Chama or Abiquiu Lake, or up in the mountain lakes of the nearby high country. You love mountain biking? Start from the house. Downhill skiing?
