SaveGallup is home to four riding regions, a bike park and three distinct hiking areas. From riding amongst the sage and pinyon forests in the high desert to the towering Ponderosa forests of the Zuni mountains, there is a lot of variety to be found. The High Desert Trail System is fast and fun with some technical riding on Third Mesa. Rehoboth is great for beginners and holds up well after rain or snow. When the summer temperatures heat up, head to the Zuni Mountains to find some shade in the pines and enjoy the 60+ miles of maintained singletrack. If your looking for primitive riding and seclusion, Twin Springs is fun to explore and the red rocks are one of the most fun things to ride in the entire area.
