Land OwnerBLM
Hidalgo is a great downhill from south to north. Connect it from Mustang East for a great downhill through the Horsethief System. It is recommended at the bottom of Hidalgo to turn right, west, on 7up 4x4 and climb back up through the trail system on Whirlwind and Mustang West.
Adaptive Bike Info
No pinch points narrower than 38". Most the tread and bench cuts have been built to a minimum of 38" wide however some rock ramps may be rougher than others. Spotter required and trail conditions can change with one desert rain event.
Three cattle guards exist in Horsetheif that have 36" wide tread surface. These are on Chisholm, Mustang West, and 7up.
