Come hone your mountain biking skills on the Rio Grande del Rancho Trail, before hitting some of the tougher stuff in the Taos area. The toughest part of the ride is the very beginning, where novices may want to dismount, but after that it is smooth sailing. You will ride through beautiful pinon-juniper forest up to ponderosa and oak, with wildflowers dotting the landscape from spring to fall. You will also be rewarded with some great views of Jicarita Peak while heading south.
