Mountain Biking Last Chance

#170 of 283 mountain bike trails in New Mexico

There are two ways you can go from the trailhead, north or south. I went north on the Last Chance trail, very rocky full of cactus. It's easier if one takes the jeep road just before you get to the trail head. You can start ridding from there. The trail is very well marked and easy to stay on. Some short steep uphills, will probably need to dismount on some. The trail runs mostly at the bottom of a canyon with spectacular sights.The trail runs for about 5 miles but I did not go that far. At one point after the 2.2 miles the trail shoots straight up a side of a hill which I dare not go for fear of walking my bike for too long. The ride back to trail head is a blast as you ride downhill most of the way. At 2.2 mile marker you have the option of taking a trail south which in turn will take you to some other trails. I did not go that way as it seemed to steep.
