July 2023, trail is all clear and good to go. Best to ride this down from trail #91 and not up.
SCABQ
Really fun to do an out and back to Lost Lake on this trail, just a touch of the Lost lake Tr. Maximize that singletrack
Hondo-los
Snow in sections creating hike-a-bike; totally worth it. Twelve trees down, all on the climb on East Fork.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
