The CCC Trail is a hard hike in the Sandia Mountain Wilderness, part of the Sandia Ranger District of Cibola National Forest in New Mexico. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail lies within designated wilderness. The route is an out-and-back of about 3.4 miles, with a total climb of about 3,486 feet. The trail starts near 9,347 feet and reaches a high point of about 9,348 feet, so the climb is essentially a round trip. The steepest stretch comes at about 0.9 miles in, with a grade of about 32 percent. Several other trails sit close by. The Crest to South Peak Trail is about 0.3 miles away, the South Crest Trail about 0.4 miles, and the South Sandia Peak Trail about 0.5 miles. Climbers can find the Upper Fat City Drainage (a.k.a. Embudo Canyon) about 2.3 miles away.
