Review: Open desert singletrack with a few fire roads running thru the network. Well signed and easy to navigate. Trails are fun, but don't flow as well as they could; a few berms would go a long way to making this a rockin' trail system. On turns, if you got off the center of the track it got very soft quickly in many places.

Review: Having a working GPS with you on this network will be a comfort. There are a lot of interconnected trails that all look similar. Note location of mountains, water tanks and antennae when you start off. this is not an expert trail ... more like easy intermediate.

Review: This place is a "Must Ride" if you love Freeride! Gap Jumps, Tabletops, Ladder Drops, Berms, Hips etc...! Rich has done a fantastic job! Freeride lives in Santa Fe. Of course, there's lots of singletrack too! The only downside is a lack of good signage. Just explore for now.

Similar Trail: I haven't yet ridden anything this good in NM.

Review: This is one of those rare trails I really enjoyed despite having nothing technicial to speak of. It's hard to make an all singletrack loop, but if you study the map a bit or go with someone who knows the network, you can do pretty well. The singletrack is very well designed and just begs to be ridden fast in most places. There is a good variety for different aerobic/skill levels. The trails run parallel and perpendicular to ridgetops and arroyo bottoms. Some of the trials run straight up the sides of the arroyos and some gradually climb up the sides so you can pick your poison. I don't know the total mileage available, but you can easily ride here a couple hours without repeating yourself. The area is mostly exposed without much north-facing, so these trails dry our faster than others during the winter months. Some trails are better than others so poke around a bit and find the most fun.

Similar Trail: Dale Ball Trails.
