Description: This is an excellent ride, some steep climbs and gravelly/rocky madness to get past, with quick swooping runs mixed inbetween. I'd advise taking a GPS and marking the car to work your way back, since this trail turns into a network up high on the mountain and runs into the Otero Canyon trail. Be prepared for weather changes and watch out for cougars and bears.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by skibum on March 24, 2009
This is a very good trail. It starts with a fun, mostly middle ring climb up the ravine--every bit as good as Otero next door. Once you get up the canyon, the trail veers east for a more strenuous climb with some technical goodies as you cross the ridge. Once on top, you have the option of riding up the ridge (very rocky) or dropping down a super cool descent to the base of Otero Canyon. From there, you have a few options. It's good to know where you are around here as it's easy to run into military property.
