Why Tijeras people book an IV
The trails
Cedro Peak and the Tijeras trails pull hikers and mountain bikers every weekend. Long climbs and thin air. Riders come home dry and sore. The Hydrate IV or the Athletic Performance IV helps you feel ready for Monday.
The commute
Tijeras people drive the canyon to Albuquerque every day. Kirtland. Sandia Labs. The hospitals. Add the dry air and the climb home. By Friday you are wrung out. We come after work. You do not go back down the hill.
The dry mountain air
Higher means drier. Every breath takes water out. Wood stoves in winter dry the house out even more. Dry lips, dry eyes, and a dull headache are the signs.
Winter
Snow closes the canyon some mornings. Colds move through the mountain schools. The Myers Cocktail is our immune support drip. Many families book one a month all winter.
The weekend
Route 66 runs right through the canyon. Road trippers on the old highway. A late night in Nob Hill. Rough mornings happen up here too. The Hangover IV comes to you.
