 As you drive down University towards the Spirit Drive location mentioned above, directly across from Access Rd B, there is a rather large dirt lot right on the threshold of runway 08. It is impossible to see departures on runway 08 from here, but arrivals onto runway 08 come in directly over your head at about 300 feet. This isn't an official spotting location, but it is probably the best spot to see arrivals onto runway 08 excluding the spotting lounge inside security.
+===MTB/ATV Hill===
+If you continue south down University past Spirit Drive, you will see a large rattlesnake in the median. Just past this on your right is a hill with trails lining it. This may seem appealing because it falls directly underneath the approach path for 03 arrivals and is quite close to the runway threshold. This hill and the trails that line it are part of a public MTB and ATV park. Not recommended because there is no place to pull off, no parking lot, and you'll probably get better views from the Albuquerque Airport Viewing Area. If you want to take pictures from here, you should park at the viewing area and walk here (about a 25-30 minute walk), but keep in mind it is not an official spotting area, and you may get asked to leave.
