Tijeras was established in 1763 as an outpost to defend Albuquerque from Native American (Comanche, Kiowa and Plains Apache) raids. Today it is a village of less than 1,000 people and is part of the Albuquerque metropolitan area. Tijeras is a good landmark in relation to the intersection of Route 66 from Santa Rosa and the Turquoise Trail (Highway 14). The Turquoise Trail is the tourist route from Santa Fe to Albuquerque through the eastern Sandia Mountains. By taking it from Tijeras, one can easily reach the summit of Sandia Crest (alt. 3 255 m).
