Mountain Biking La Jara Canyon Trail FR#5

***   Add a review
#140 of 283 mountain bike trails in New Mexico
#8,602 in the world

Summer and fall the road is open to hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding, but is also open to vehicles. Expect to see motorized traffic. When it is closed for the winter it is a quiet place to cross-country ski or snowshoe. source: fs.usda.gov

    A really fun trail. Hidden, and appears to not be ridden very often. A blend of climbs and descents with rocks and the normal New Mexico terrain.
