Las Conchas Trailhead — Attraction in Los Alamos

Beautiful Scenery. Easily Accessible. Great place for a day getaway and for all outdoor enthusiasts alike. Whether you want to Hike, Fish, Rock Climb, or enjoy a picnic, this is a place to go. It's located right by the Valles Caldera National Wildlife Preservation so if you walk in far enough don't be surprised if you come across Elk, Deer, Eagles, Hawks, Foxes, and Many More animals. Fishing is good here for Native Brown Trout with Artificial Flies and Natural Bait like worms and grubs.

Parking can seem wild, but even when it's crowded,...

Really beautiful and easy hike. There are stairs and some places with slight elevation increases and tree roots to go over, plus some bridges to step up onto. People with significant mobility issues would struggle but overall is a good all ages trail. It's really beautiful in summer and fall especially. If the main parking lot is full there's room along the road. No restrooms or picnic tables but both are plentiful in other areas on the road up. And there are plenty of places to picnic on the ground and play in the water. Most people had their dogs off leash which was a concern for us, but we were able to avoid them for the most part. We probably wouldn't bring our dog again for this reason, which is unfortunate because this is a great...
