This is an awesome place to get in a solid ride. Lots of punchy climbs, nothing too technical. Some narrow sections of trail just don’t look down.

Beautiful hike! (But I would never ride my mountain bike here. One false move and it’s a long way down. 🙃) But the hiking was amazing and so much to explore. Nice trail flow and beautiful views of scenery that changes depending on which direction you take. No shade at all, so best for evening, morning or cooler weather. Very worth navigating the bit of unimproved road to get to the trailhead.

Amazing scenery! I’ve been here mountain biking 4 times now. I usually go on cooler days (50-85 degrees max!). There is basically no shade, so wouldn’t recommend coming here on 90°+ days unless you bring a ton of hydration and snacks. The views are spectacular from the top of “dragons back” and “fun times”. I usually do the 8.4 mile recommended loop on the MTB Project app. I notice a lot of people hike and trail run here roo. Some steep parts, if you mountain bike and loose rock but nothing too insane. Theres some really awesome springs further into the trail as well. Phone service minimal at parking lot but works slightly better out on trail. The road leading to the parking lot is very dusty and bumpy with speed grooves so drive slow. Wildlife observed was few bird species and cattle. If you love hiking or mountain biking I highly recommend doing this place AT least once. There is one part in dragons back that is a short lived but STEEP which makes it more ideal to have someone with you because you’ll have to carry or pull your bike up. I’m 37 and in decent shape and I was able to drag my bike up by myself, but it also wasn’t easy there’s loose rock which makes it harder. This part would be easier if your hiking with no bike.

Great trail system and 45 min NW of Albuquerque. Medium skill level mountain bikers and higher will enjoy the area. Amazing landscape and scenery. Dirt road can be rough especially when wet or after rain/snow.

Wow what an amazing place to mountain bike and hike. For biking, I would put most of the available trail system here at late intermediate to advanced due to the repercussions of mistake along some of the ridges. The trail itself is not crazy technical. Anyone with a fear of heights would probably not enjoy biking here. All that aside the trail itself is a blast to ride and the views are amazing. Trail system is easy to navigate since there are only a few options. Hiking would be great here as well. Parked at the more northern tail head. No restrooms or water at either TH.
