New Mexico trails · 940
A 6.7-mile out-and-back in New Mexico, with 519 ft of climbing. Reaches Quien Sabe Tank and other lake destinations. Managed by the U.S. Forest Service.
The climbing leans toward the first third: 45% of the ascent falls between mile 0.0 and mile 2.2. It gives back about 723 ft along the way, so it rolls rather than climbing steadily.
