TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by skibum on January 22, 2011
Passing through the area, I stopped here for two reasons: 1. I knew everything up around Santa Fe would be snowed in (it was January) and 2. I wanted to do something I hadn't done before. It turned out to be a worthy ride. There are some good climbs, great scenery, and some nice singletrack. There's only about 5 miles of trails here, of which less than 3 can be called singletrack, so it's hardly worth going oit of your way for if rides like Dale Ball are clear, but it's great if you're hankering for a dry ride in the off season. There's not much tech, but you will dismount for an impossibly tight, rock-stepped switchback if you take the Cortez Mine Trail. I went midday, midweek and had the place completely to myself, but there were lots of hoofprints, so I'm guessing this is a popular weekend destination for equestrians.
