A network of very technical loops through rock outcroppings and atop chunky sandstone that make for challenging riding. Beautiful vistas all around, with views of White Mesa to the south. Some of the trails are not well marked so it’s best to go with a local. The area also is used by trials motorcycles.
Primary Trail Type: Cross-Country
AKA: Red Mesa
google parking directions Access Info:
Parking lot is located along US550 on the right side of the road just north of San Ysidro, New Mexico.
