Terrific trail ! We rode it 11-7-25. Leaves were all yellows in fall bloom . And we liked the trail. Started north and headed south . We would recommend it !
It’s a nice trail, in fair shape. Due to flooding in the area the trail is closed in a couple of areas. Street crossings are not well marked for the cars and they don’t like stopping. Overall a great trail for a town this size, very thankful for the town’s effort to support outdoor activities.
Albuquerque has done a great job on their bike paths. We did the trail out and back, finishing with 35 miles. Well maintained and mostly right along the Rio Grand.
Biked half of it. Not scenic, mostly busy city/industrial trail. It follows the RR tracks and there’s sketchy areas. Doesn’t meet the warm fuzzy scenic bike trail category! ¿¿
Trail is not 11 miles long only 1.27-miles. Please correct this.
Thus is just a poorly maintained “bike” lane that stops and starts sporadically.
Connects to the La Mesilla Trail. We rode a total of 20 miles on both trails.
The Chris Chavez Trail is a nice wide, smooth asphalt paved trail. The pavement is in good shape, and there are a few benches along the way. There are no restrooms or other amenities. The trail runs along a drainage canal and through an industrial area of southern Albuquerque. We saw a few planes and a helicopter fly overhead from the nearby airport.
Lots of variety and space to explore. There’s a path for every person here with asphalt, wide dirt paths, smaller paths closer to the river, and paths that weave in and out of the trees and shrubs.
We came to the trail from Pennsylvania and our GPS got us close to a trail head at the end of a dead end street in the southern section around mile marker 9. We had to ask a person riding on the road where the trail was. Not well marked where we started and we just parked at the dead end. This was the most scenic trail I have even been on and it was absolutely beautiful. Other reviews warned that a part of the trail (that I was on) was a trail that followed "along side" railroad tracks and was not really a level Rails to Trails. They were absolutely correct. The trail followed level and straight railroad tracks but the entire ride for me was up and down hills following the terrain. I had a mountain bike and if I was on a hybrid I would have given up. There are some loose dirt portions and a lot of ups and downs. So much so that these were the hardest 10 miles (up and back) that I ever did. Could do with a hybrid but recommend mountain bike on this part of the trail. Be prepared for a workout.
This is not really a “trail” in my opinion. It’s a nice walk but noisy. Cabezon has become a very busy street.
