Take a mountain bike ride at Caja del Rio, a high desert trail! We rate the Caja del Rio bike trail moderate, with some short, steep climbs along iconic New Mexico dirt trails. Bike with us along this rugged and remote area, dotted millions of years ago by volcanoes. Adventurers can still view remnants of these volcanic cones and enjoy expansive views of the surrounding mountains.
Caja del Rio, which means “box of the river”, covers approximately 84,000 acres. The mountain bike ride we offer will grant you a glimpse of what the area has to offer. It is indeed a “playground for mini-adventures”, surprisingly unknown even to many locals despite its proximity to downtown Santa Fe.
Get a feel for the area by reading Cass Gilbert’s blog: Bikepacking the Caja del Rio.
