International airport in ABQ–where UNM is located for easy travel access.
Sandia Mountains are 15-20 minutes from campus. Trail running, hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, downhill and X-country skiing. Both my daughters used to knock off a little bit early from med school and go climbing or trail running on sunny afternoons. The Rio Grande is NM is a white water river–so kayaking and rafting are popular summer activities for students. D1 and her best friend used to work summers as white water raft guides. Also downhill skiing/ snowboarding in Santa Fe, Los Alamos, Ruidoso, Taos, Angel Fire (which frequently hosts the winter X-Games). X-country skiing everywhere.
World class rock climbing near Socorro (Literally world class–Ds have met competitive climbers from all over the world while climbing there. )
Plenty of National Forest lands for hiking, mountain biking, camping, backpacking.
Utah is another great place of outdoorsy types, but SLC has a considerable higher cost of living than ABQ.
