Mountain Biking Lower Pine (05606)
#90 of 283 mountain bike trails in New Mexico
Start from the trailhead at the south side of the parking lot and follow the
trail for a little over a mile (1.14 miles on my GPS). Take a left at the fork
where Tablezon Canyon Trail (05629) starts. Go another .75 miles to the
end of the trail. From here you can turn around and head back to the
parking lot or take either Gear Grinder (05630) or Pinoyon Trail (05607).
There is another path that heads east from the end of the trail but it is not
on any map.

From Albuquerque, head east on I-40 and take the Zuzax Hill Exit 178. Turn
right onto NM 333 and go .2 miles. Turn left onto Ardilla Rd. and take a slight
right onto Kennedy Ln and go 0.7 mi. Turn right onto Forest Rd and go 0.3 mi.
Take the 2nd right onto Forest Rd 462 and the parking lot is on the left hand
side.
For the most part, the trail follows a dry creek bed and is relatively wide with multiple lines up and down the technical areas. There is a steep technical section about 300 ft. from the trailhead and if you aren't skilled enough to climb it, don't worry. Most of the trail isn't this technical.
There are great natural berms along most of the flowing singletrack sections of the trail and make for great downhill rides. This is a good warm up for the rest of the trail system that this trail connects to.
