Santa Fe Rail-Trail

save your ride for a different trail

September, 2024 by lisambell1227

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! ¿¿

Rio Grande River Trail

Not 11 miles long.

June, 2024 by sabrinasaenz04

Trail is not 11 miles long only 1.27-miles. Please correct this.

Broadmoor Boulevard Trail

road riding at its worst

June, 2024 by terrirees

Thus is just a poorly maintained “bike” lane that stops and starts sporadically.

La Llorona Multi-Use Path

Scenic trail!

April, 2024 by wegot2go

Connects to the La Mesilla Trail. We rode a total of 20 miles on both trails.

Chris Chavez Trail

Nice, wide, and smooth trail

April, 2024 by mlane14_99

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.

Paseo del Bosque Trail

Beautiful Trail

October, 2023 by melissaraetoni

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.

Santa Fe Rail-Trail

Beautiful Trail "next to" Rail

September, 2023 by gmolinaro1

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.

Cabezon Boulevard Trail

Stroll on the Sidewalk

September, 2023 by wwsjtd562j

This is not really a “trail” in my opinion. It’s a nice walk but noisy. Cabezon has become a very busy street.

Santa Fe Rail-Trail

Nice trail

June, 2023 by nreamer_tl

Great trail. I rode the whole thing. Started at South end. Trail in that part is more sketchy, but it soon smooths out to basically a dirt road. There are lots of short climbs, so don't expect a flat rail trail. Like others have said, it is a trail, next to a railroad. It does NOT follow the railroad grade. That was perfect for me, as it was one of the best gravel rides I have done! Nice views. Some geocaches along the way if that is your thing. Not busy, but more hikers and bikers than I expected for a Monday.

Arroyo De Los Chamisos Trail

great hike

June, 2023 by angiesand1

Maps and hiking trail are great. It’s up and down but outlook points are beautiful.

Paseo del Bosque Trail

great trail ride..but be careful!

May, 2023 by tntdavis

We loved this ride on our e-bikes. But be careful some of the bike riders go way to fast for the conditions. I came across a wooden bridge with people walking on it, I respectfully walked my bike across and bike rider came sailing around the corner, did not slow down and nearly took us all out. No apology..nothing. There are congested areas on the trail..be careful

Spring River Recreation Trail

Good potential

April, 2023 by lastchapman

We rode this trail on our e-bikes. We got to see some pretty parks and enjoyed the ride. However the trail needs some TLC, as there were several places that needed to be cleaned up. The ride was pretty rough in places where the trail needs some resurfacing. Also, some better signage would be helpful in places where the trail breaks and follows city roads. Otherwise, an enjoyable ride.
