Albuquerque KOA

The amazing views of Cibola National Forest should be on the agenda for anyone enjoying an RV rental near Albuquerque. There you can find over 1.6 million acres of land to explore throughout the Sandia, Manzano, and Apache Kid wilderness areas. The elevations reach over 11,000 feet with interesting spots to explore like lava flows, prehistoric ruins, and ice caves along with activities like fishing and hunting for deer or turkey. You can find camping along with off-road trails, scenic drives, boating, and plenty more to explore. You can also visit the Petroglyph National Monument near Rio Rancho for a rare sight with plenty of history. Native American and Spanish settlers carved their designs and symbols into volcanic rocks here, and they remain preserved for visitors to marvel. You can find three trails to traverse, each featuring their own unique landmarks along the way. While many of the petroglyphs date back to 500 A.D., some are believed to date back to 2000 B.C. and possibly prior. Another amazing area worth a look is Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge which can be found to the south in La Joya. You will probably want to pick up a flower guide before you hit the trails with multiple miles to traverse. The quarter-mile Wildflower loop trail is a great way to stretch your legs while the Mesa View Trail gives you 3.8 miles for a more in-depth look into the area's geology. You can see a variety of wildlife here like mountain lions and pronghorns across multiple biomes including the Great Plains Short Grass Prairie and the Chihuahuan Desert.
