Well, maintained, nice ride a little exposed parking lots throughout.But little resources as in water or restrooms.
I moved here from Seattle 8 years ago and I guess I'm just spoiled. The 2 trails that I walked there had restrooms, benches along the way, and parking all along the trail. I'm 76 years old and in good shape but the hill from my house to the trail is hard on my knees. I would like to be able to drive and park somewhere near the trail to start my walk without having to drive 10 miles to get there. I only live a few blocks from the trail but the walk there is too steep. Also, once I'm on the trail there are no restrooms or drinking fountains. It is all very disappointing.
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.
I road the entire trail yesterday both ways: over 17 miles. Trail is in good condition and offers beautiful views of the city below and the mountains above. Great, flat, paved trail!
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.
