Comments Sought for
Sandia Crest Recreation Complex Renovation
*Sandia Ranger District*

*ALBUQUERQUE, NM – September 18, 2023 *– The Cibola National Forest &
National Grasslands is seeking scoping comments for the proposed Sandia
Crest Recreation Complex Renovation Project. The project area is located in
Bernalillo County, New Mexico at the crest of the Sandia Mountains. The
area is just over 10,000 feet in elevation, with an almost 360-degree view
overlooking Albuquerque, New Mexico, and the surrounding area *(see
attached map)*. This proposal does not include the Crest House.

The Sandia Ranger District proposes to improve and reconstruct portions of
the Sandia Crest Recreation area to bring the site up to current standards,
decrease short- and long-term maintenance needs, and to provide a
sustainable recreation site. Comments are sought to help identify any
unknown issues.

Scoping documents for the Sandia Crest Recreation Complex Renovation can be
found on the Cibola National Forest & National Grasslands project page at
