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.

Triviz Multi-Use Path

Nice trail next to highways

March, 2023 by gsauncog

Nice trail. Many road crossings. Next to highways so noise was present.

Santa Fe Rail-Trail

Great ride but ended early???

July, 2022 by tanyaisfeld

We had a great ride on this trail today. We had planned to go the entire way and back but when we got close the end, at the last road crossing, we lost the trail. It just disappeared. So we turned around and headed back. 30+ miles round trip from our Airbnb which is a 15 minute walk from the rail yard starting point. Loved the dirt portion of this trail especially!! Very much an up and down rollercoaster feel that is fun to ride.

Paseo del Bosque Trail

Excellent trail for a day ride

March, 2022 by stvatandem

We started from the Journal Center RR Station Parking Lot on El Pueblo Rd NE and rode a nicely paved connecting trail (it runs parallel to RT-423) for about 2 miles to the Paseo del Bosque Trail. From there, my wife and I rode south to Rio Bravo Blvd SW (RT-500), before turning around and heading back north. On the return, we stopped at Tingley Beach for a break. There is a small pavilion there with some picnic tables and benches. There is also a well maintained restroom building.

Canyon Rim Trail

Beautiful ride

February, 2022 by angela19

We only rode a part of this trail, but the view beautiful. It was definitely worth our time to stop on our drive to check it out. We parked at the small lot on the east end. We were the only cyclists, but it seemed popular with walkers and runners.

Cinder Road River Trail (Gallinas River Walk)

I enjoy this trail!

September, 2021 by denrobgriego

I love that this trail is shaded and some areas to sit and enjoy just being outdoors.
