Life Zones of The Sandia Mountains in New Mexico

The diversity of New Mexico is on full display as we explore the 6 life zones of the Sandia Mountains. In the 40 mile journey from the the New Mexico Museum of Natural History to Sandia Crest you'll pass through the same amount of life zones as a 1,500 mile journey from San Diego to British Columbia. Join us for this fun trip!
The Sandia Mountain Natural History Center is a partnership between the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science and Albuquerque Public Schools. Our mission is to work within New Mexico communities to develop an ecologically literate citizenry. We primarily accomplish this with our Ecology Field Program, in which we take 5th grade classes on hikes to explore and learn about their local ecosystem.
