Mountain Biking Armijo Trail
#159 of 283 mountain bike trails in New Mexico
The first stretch of this trail as you drop off Faulty is a badly eroded wash filled with jagged rocks of all sizes. After exiting the wash, the trail is mostly buff with a gentle downhill grade and a few techy bits thrown in. It makes for a good loop option with Bill Spring and Faulty. You will need a good map or a local to find your way back to where you started.

This trail is accessed by dropping off the Faulty Trail 3.3 miles from it's north end where it begins at the three way intersection with the Bill Spring and Oso Corredor trails. It bottoms out below the Cienega Canyon and Sulphur Canyon day use areas.
The wash that begins this ride is positively heinous; steep, rutted, and filled with jagged rocks just waiting to pinch-flat you. However, after completing this rut, the rest of the ride is pretty mellow. The grade is enough to keep you flowing downhill, but nothing white-knuckle. I did encounter equestrians here on a weekday, so beware and be friendly if you give this one a go. It does make a great loop rather than just doing a full out-and-back on Faulty.
