Description
Haystack is a series of OHV trails on the bluffs or mesas overlooking the Pecos River Valley, Roswell, Capitan Mountain and Sierra Blanca Mountain in the distance. There some technical singletrack contained within the network of trails and some very smooth, more relaxing rides. All the rides pass through a beautiful high desert area and are very enjoyable. The trails jump in and out of dry creek beds and this provides the most technical terrain. Some of the creek beds, however, are so deep with sand that they are not rideable, but provide you with a soft landing if you jump down into the creek to fast (just ask my buddy Ernie)! This is my favorite of the few mountain biking areas in the Roswell area.

Review: Trail is as described. Not a Mountain Bike destination, but a good place to stretch the legs if in the area. 1/4 mile off RT 70. look for sign for Haystack Mtn. Look at the pictures; what you see is what you get. $3.00 entry fee. 2/5/11 Found some great tec. ST at the far end. Well worth the DT riding to get there. Great winter time riding area.

Review: Parts of the system reminded me of porcupine ridge in Moab. There is a lot of sand from the ATV use. I wouldn't want to ride this in the hot, dry season. Nice campsights at TH. Bring money for it is a fee area. Not a trail I would go out of my way to ride.
