Scenic and fun trail in both directions. As a descent, it is fast with a few intermediate rooty sections and switchbacks. Be careful because it because it is a popular hiking trail too. As a climb, it is a grunt but rideable; can connect it to the also great Bear Wallow descent which will take you back down to the Winsor.

This is a hiking trail. Nice forest, though.

This is a fun little trail. It has a good variety of a big climb then a fun descent. Combining this trail with Bear Willow and the Winsor trail makes a great loop. Will definitely recommend this trail for anyone looking to get a little excercise and explore the mountains of Santa Fe.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
