Rio Rancho is part of the metropolitan Albuquerque area and also one of New Mexico's fastest-growing cities. The city's formal incorporation dates back to 1981 and enjoys a location in between the Continental Divide in the west and the Sandia Mountains in the east, creating a unique landscape. One of the many things that only adds to the city's allure is its proximity to so many of New Mexico's natural treasures that offer hiking, camping, and outdoor activity opportunities.

Some of the nearby locations with fun for the entire family include Bandelier National Monument, Valles Caldera National Preserve, Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument and the Jemez Mountain Trail. These outdoor locations include stunning scenery and opportunities for hiking.
