This hike will take you for a fairly casual hike at the base of the Sandia Mountains. The route is typically well shaded and will take you past springs, streams, and more importantly - odd tipi structures. Now informally named Tipi Village, this band of oddly shaped piles of sticks can be hiked around, off the Armijo Trail. Although it may seem like an odd art installation, these cones or "tipis" are what is left of a Forest Service thinning project, improving the forage of the area and making for a great conversation starter. If you would like to visit Torro Spring, said to be one of the prettiest springs in the Sandias, take a short spur west at the junction of the Armijo and Faulty Trails.
