Mountain Biking Horsethief

****   Add a review
#29 of 283 mountain bike trails in New Mexico
#1,745 in the world

Trail is through sagebrush and pinon forest. Winding fun and at times technical an great early season trail when the high country is snowed in still. Great views of the Rio Grande Gorge. Many arroyos along the trail have ancient petroglyphs on the walls. About 1000 feet of climbing.
