Juan Trail is an easy out-and-back hike in New Mexico, set on county land within the Sandia Ranger District of Cibola National Forest on Sedillo Ridge. The trail runs about 1.8 miles, with a low point of 7,281 feet and a high of 7,413 feet, giving it a total elevation gain of about 120 feet. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Sandia Park show May highs around 73°F and September highs around 77°F. That station sits a few hundred feet lower than the trail, so temperatures up here run a little cooler. Several other trails sit within a mile. Brannan Trail is just 0.1 mile away, and Rollercoaster Trail and Dog Run South are both within about 0.6 mile. Climbers can find Big Block about 3.7 miles off.
