Located in eastern Las Cruces, New Mexico, the Sonoma Ranch Multi-Use Path provides a safe environment for walking and biking along the busy boulevard of the same name. The moderately hilly topography could pose a challenge for some users, but the undulation of the trail might make it attractive to others. There’s not much in the way of tree cover or shade, and since Las Cruces receives 300 days of sunshine a year, it’s advisable that you go out early or later in the day, carry water and apply sunscreen. There is lighting along the pathway so night usage is possible but as always, use caution, especially at street crossings. The trail is 7.2 miles out-and-back.
There is no dedicated parking for this trail but there are businesses near the north end of the trail that you may be able to park at.
A 10 ft wide ribbon of asphalt running from just north of hiway 70 down to Lohman Drive makes for a scenic moderately exertive 5 mile bike jaunt. Recognize that this trail parallels Sonoma Ranch Blvd which carries a fair amount of traffic. The views can be stunning but next time I’ll wear ear plugs.
