South Boundary Trail Ride Taos New Mexico



















If you enjoy long, semi technical mountain bike rides, you owe it to yourself to check out the South Boundary trail outside Taos, New Mexico. Aaron Lindsey and myself made the 12 hour drive from Fort Worth to make the ride. Even Aaron's gastrointestinal explosions in the car couldn't deter me (we drove mostly with the windows down).


The South Boundary trail runs parallel to the dividing line between the former Taos and Rio Grande Del Rancho land grants. Blazed by ranchers in the late 1800's as a route to drive sheep from Taos to high country grazing areas it is still 80% singletrack. The trail was 22 miles long as we rode it. The starting elevation is approximately 9000 feet and climbs to 10,000. A good map and a trail guide are good things to have as there are several opportunities to get lost.



We stayed at the Adobe Wall in Taos and hired Rey at Gearing Up Bikes to shuttle us over to the start on forest road 76 outside of Angel Fire. After 5.5 hours of riding we dropped right back in to our room at the Adobe Wall.



A post ride party at Eske's Pub is a must. Great beer and food made on site!



I'm already planning a trip for next summer. Let me know if you wanna go.
