Mountain Biking Black Range Crest Trail #79

Add a review

#158 of 283 mountain bike trails in New Mexico

#9,714 in the world

The segment of #79 that goes south from Emory Pass towards Sawyers Peak is 8.3 miles and terminates at Forest Road 886. This out-and-back segment passes through dense forests with few view points. There is no wilderness on this portion so mountain bikes are permitted but the riding is technical and requires good bike handling skills and trail etiquette. source: fs.usda.gov
