      Located at 7,000' at the base of the southernmost Rockies, Santa Fe is a world-renowned travel destination for its art, food, architecture, and excellent climate. While most visit for the aforementioned attractions, Santa Fe boasts excellent year-round mountain biking for every level of rider. The terrain is diverse, going from open desert panoramas to alpine singletrack.

      Santa Fe riding is broken into five main riding areas:

      La Tierra Trails: fast desert XC terrain and host to dirt jumping track.
      Dale Ball Trails: Urban foothill trails with a mix of XC and all mountain riding.
      Galisteo Basin Preserve: Scenic XC trails located on a private conservation trust.
      Santa Fe Mountains: Alpine and forested all mountain trails reaching 12,000'.
      Arroyo Hondo: Rugged backcountry routes through ponderosa forests.

      The area also includes Glorieta Camps, which hosts the Big Mountain Enduro each spring.

      Enjoy the local riding, amazing culinary scene, and Santa Fe traditions.
