The trail is eight miles long, signed at the entrance and consists of moderate to fairly steep slopes. The trailhead is located on Highway 64 about eight miles east of Taos. A small parking area is located opposite the entrance on the north side of the highway.
I found the Mondragon Canyon Trail #660 on a map while trying to figure out a way to get back to my camp after shuttling the 1st part of South Boundary Trail 164 (I had ridden the Garcia Park-Taos portion the day before). It could be accessed from SBT, and according to the map, after about 8 miles of descending, would drop me out on Hwy 64, about 2.5 miles from my camp... sounding great in theory. 660, for the most part, proved to be a fun, mostly DH run, save for maybe a mile of climbing. It has seen little or no use in recent years, in fact a small portion of it didn't even exist! Thanks to some determination and adventurous spirit, I did finally rejoin the rest of the trail. This trail has a LOT of potential as a shuttleable downhill run; maybe posting this review and video will give it the exposure needed to move it in that direction...
| ThankAlso, there is a connector that spurs off to FR437 (see my missed turn in the video) that makes for a fast DH run that can be quickly shuttled via 437.
