Mountain Biking El Cerro de Los Lunas
#168 of 283 mountain bike trails in New Mexico
This area consists of a few linked trails, mostly an outer loop with a couple access lines and an interior connector. Starting from the parking lot here, there is a mile of non motorized cinder road to get to the trails. The trails are mostly doubletrack width with a little singletrack and a lot of sand. There are very steep climbs and just a little tech other than the sand.

From exit 203 on I-25 about 20 miles south of Albuquerque, go west almost 3 miles and look for the parking lot on the left for the El Cerro de Los Lunas preserve.
The geography here is interesting with a giant bowl with trails both above and below. However, the trails themselves leave much to be desired. They are neither interesting from a technical point of view or a fun/flow point of view. This is a good place to go if you have ridden across the Sahara and found yourself wishing there was more sand. The sand here is deep, relentless, and even sits on some heinous climbs. I did have some fun here, but I was on a fat bike. I can't imagine enjoying this trail on a standard mountain bike.
