I was planning on being in Albuquerque, New Mexico from Oct 1 to Oct 9 for the Albuquerque Balloon Festival and I was thinking I'd hike the La Luz trail while there.
According to the USDA Forest Service I need a pass to do this hike. Day passes can be bought from https://www.recreation.gov/sitepass/74386 but what I'm wondering is... do they sell out of day passes? Is there a cap on the number of day passes that they issue? Can I just buy a day pass the day I want to do the trail or should I buy the day pass days or weeks or months in advance?
Also, on that website, it asks if the vehicle I'll be using to get there will be a Personal Vehicle or a Rental. I was actually thinking I'd do an Uber to get there and that I'd take the tram down and take an Uber to get back to the hotel. If I did that would I even need a day pass at all? Or is using an Uber to get there not even really viable?
Thanks!
