Manzanita Mountains recreation hub on Cibola National Forest south of I-40 and Tijeras—piñon-juniper ridges with a historic fire lookout summit and 80+ miles of linked singletrack for hiking, mountain biking, and equestrian use. USFS group camps (Robin and Jay) and Cedro trailheads make it a primary East Mountain trail gateway with Sandia and Manzano views.
