Overview

This is a mostly flowy loop made up of a bunch of interconnected trails on the east side of Camino del los Montoyas road. It has a few sandy sections, and a little bit of doubletrack near the water tank.

Description

This ride begins on Ridge road just north of the overpass on NM 599. The is a parking lot on the left side of the road. You climb north toward Tano road, then cut onto a narrow singletrack that brings you around to the west and the cell towers.

Cross the road at the towers trailhead and continue south around the jump park, then cross the road again. Trail 38 heads north and branches off onto Trail 35 and back to the cell tower. Hear you rejoin the first singletrack for a short distance, then cut right onto Trail 34 back to the south. From here you head west on Trail 36 to the parking lot where you started.

Lots of beginners trails, with a handful of steady climbs. Hustle and flow is worth the visit! Had to do it twice! 10mi
