Default Santa Fe - Taos Area

Yes, Eagles Nest to Cimarron via 64. Through Cimarron Canyon State Park.

From Mora, up to Angel Fire, via 434. Twisty little canyon up past
Guadalupita. I've driven that route a lot, but never on a bike. Should be
an awesome ride!

Thanks Bob.. I had looked at these as potentials, but wasn't sure about
the rides.

When you say the back way to Cimarron, you mean out 64 I assume. Looks
like there may be a road up to Green Mountain Summit. Is that paved?

I also assume when you say ride to Angel Fire for a climb, you mean up
the ski area?

Ride up through Eagles Nest, then down the back way towards Cimarron.
Awesome canyon.


And you want a CLIMB?

Mora up 434 to Angle Fire. (Don't forget to pay your respects at the
Santuario El Turquillo!)

And WATCH OUT FOR BEARS!


Enjoy. Northern New Mexico is the most beautiful place in the world.

I'm looking to plan a trip to New Mexico this summer and was wondering
if anyone had advice on definite rides to do or alternately where not to
go. I am looking to do some climbing. I know it's not the high peaks
like Colorado (did that this past summer), but the area intrigues me. I
think I have identified the obvious routes, but was wondering if anyone
had any less known road climbs that I could ride. Seems the mountain
biking is better there, but I want to stick to the road this time.

Thanks Doug
