Rift Valley Trail

N orthern New Mexico has a new trail system! How cool is that? Thanks to the hard work of the Rocky Mountain Youth Corps, we have new trails to ride outside of Taos. I hit them up today with the Taos director of Tourism, [B]Greg de Taos[/B]. While they may not have much in the way of technical challenges, they are skinny, twisty, flowy, and pass by some fantastic views of the Rio Grande Gorge.








These trails would be a great option for a second day in Taos after some hard climbing on the South Boundary trail. Some easy miles with not a lot of climbing to work the kinks out of your legs.








The scenery in NNM is always great, except maybe in downtown Espanola. But out here it was grand.








A fine ride on a fine day, followed by a fine selection of fine homebrews served up in some fine glassware.



Get on up there and check it out!
