Lots of singletrack within pinon and juniper trees. Also a big dirt road (5k loop) that makes a loop around a large part of the Placitas trail system.

Most of the trail signs have been installed now. Dusty out there. We need rain in this region bad.
| ThankNice ride with quick access to the trail. Watch for rattle snakes in the evening. My son and I came across a diamond back on the trail last night. Just have to keep your eyes open
| ThankA blast for all levels of riders! Small rock gardens at the beginning, but can be avoided by dropping in just a bit further down the dirt road.
| ThankFun flowy downhill. The trail is only about a foot wide. Still prestine single track that has not been widened by baby strollers or sloppy riders. Dirt was perfect after a light rain the evening before.
| ThankLong steady climb up towards the mountains from Fenceline Trail. Look for the Rhythm Trail on your left on the way up for a fun flowy trail headed back north toward Mustang Alley.
| ThankFun connector trail that connects to "Chalk Dust" downhill trail.
| ThankThis is the main trial to start on in Placitas. Fun Flowy trail headed south along the old Fenceline. Keep an eye out for the big four way intersection about a mile south and head up towards the mountain to start your adventure.
