Beautiful riding on a sage-covered plateau high above the Rio Grande. This is a beautiful ride that starts at the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge and travels south along the rim on fairly level double and singletrack trails. The riding is never that hard, and the miles seem to fly by. The views are spectacular, with several spots to stop to look at the lovely Rio Grande, a dizzy thousand feet below you. Trail surface: Singletrack and doubletrack trails.
