The Field Guide to the Sandia Mountains is the essential natural-history companion to the range that towers over Albuquerque. Conceived by the Sandia Ranger District and the New Mexico Friends of the Forest, and edited by Robert Julyan and Mary Stuever, it gathers chapters on the geology, weather, ecology, flora, and fauna of the Sandias, with plant keys and wildlife checklists, and a thoughtful focus on the species a visitor is most likely to encounter rather than an exhaustive catalogue.

Julyan is the noted authority behind The Place Names of New Mexico, and Stuever a forester and ecologist; together they made a guide that more than two million annual Sandia visitors can actually use on the trail. Published by the University of New Mexico Press in 2005 in its durable spiral-bound format, this first-printing copy is signed and warmly inscribed on the title page, To Will, by editor Robert Julyan, a personal touch that turns a working field guide into a documented association copy.
