Mountain Biking Trail 18 ("rio Grande Del Rancho")
#137 of 283 mountain bike trails in New Mexico
Something for everyone here. A moderate ride that intermediate and expert
riders can have a great time ripping through as well. The trail starts with a
steep rocky bit, but quickly mellows out. Make a right and ride roughly
parallel to rte. 518. The trail is well marked throughout, though there are a
few options which pop up here and there. At 5.8 miles, the trail connects
with Forest Rd. 438, which, takes you back out toward Rte. 518. Then ride
the road or the trail back to where you parked.
