Welcome

We invite you to come out and hike with us. Enjoy the natural beauty of the mountains and deserts of New Mexico with our volunteer hike leaders and van drivers to show you the way. We do day hikes several times a week, in the company of friendly fellow-hikers who are ready to share their enthusiasm and knowledge of the area. Everyone is welcome to use this website as a resource to learn about hikes and our program.

Disclaimer: ASCHG.ORG is not an official City of Albuquerque website. Information on this website was voluntarily produced by our hikers. Use the information with some skepticism. Landmarks, signs, and trails all change. Describing routes in the wilderness is difficult. No responsibility is accepted for the accuracy of information on this website. Use the information on this website at your own risk.

Join

Joining this ASCHG website allows you to log in. You may sign up for hike notices, view hike reports, post photos, learn about flowers, and more. There is no fee for joining the website.

Before joining ASCHG, you must first become a member at any of Albuquerque’s senior centers, fitness centers, or multi-generational centers. The cost is $20 per year, and your membership entitles you to hike with any and all the hiking groups. Please see our listing of Albuquerque Senior Centers that have hosted hiking groups. (List includes addresses, phone numbers, and the abbreviations we use throughout this site.)

Participate

This website provides access to three types of hikes (Senior Center, Fitness Center, and Ad-Hoc), each of which has its own process for signing up. Consult menu tab About Us, sub-item Our Hiking Groups for the details.

We always need hike leaders and van drivers, both regulars and occasional substitutes. There are many other ways for you to participate — publicity for our group, planning a picnic or event, computer and website assistance. As you hike with us, please get to know your hike leaders, drivers, and other active members of our groups. Any of these people can let you know who to contact to volunteer and arrange to mentor you for leadership roles.
