    Many, many trail segments here that can be combined for an almost infinite variety of loops. Segments range from smooth hardpack to super chunky. There truly is something for everyone here, but the best thing is that almost noone is here! This area receives very little traffic despite the quality, quantity, and variety of available riding in the attractive Zuni mountains.

    Fast and flowy. Mostly hard-packed singletrack with some bedrock sections through the washes. Sightings of deer and wild turkey are possible.

    This trail system has 26 miles of stacked loops, as well as quite a few unofficial trails in the vicinity that are in the process of being approved. As a system it offers narrow singletrack loops of up to 50 miles, going through a variety of terrain, from flowing Ponderosa meadows to rocky canyon bottoms, and high ridges with huge panoramic views.

    Great rail system. Perfect stop off point driving from Phoenix to Durango, CO. Love purple haze.

    Confused here. Based on the written review, it seems like the trail and ride were really enjoyable, why only 2 stars??

    Nice rolling singletrack. The trails were well marked. The Berma trail was a blast. Enjoy the ride.
