Paved roads, doubletrack and singletrack trails. If you are an expert cyclist and you’re looking for a hard technical ride with a big uphill, this is the ride for you. The first 3 miles of the ride gain more than 2,000 feet on mostly tight singletrack through stands of piñon and juniper trees in a beautiful high-desert environment. The first 3 miles also climb up the famous “South Boundary” (Forest Road 164) before reaching a junction with the Ojitos Canyon Trail. Along this ride you will be treated to spectacular views out to the Taos Valley, Taos Mountain and Wheeler Peak, and west to the Jemez Mountains. Trail surface: Paved roads, doubletrack and singletrack trails.
