Description: Very doable as an out-and-back, this trails is a relatively flat mix of dirt singletrack, doubletrack, and a few
gravel and rocky sections. It is very rideable for all experience levels, and follows an infrequently used railroad
line, crossing back and forth over it a few times. There are many splits in the trail, but they are never more
than .1 miles or so, and are either the same difficulty or very obviously up a steep hill and back down. A
mountain bike is recommended, but you could get away with riding a cyclocross bike.

As easy or as hard as you want it to be. I kept the pace pretty slow and this was a great way to move my legs a bit on days between mountain biking with a lot more climbing. It lacks any technical challenges, but its dirt and super close to downtown Santa Fe.
