Ridden Trail: Once a month

Cross Country Rider Summary: This is probably one of the most fun trails in all of Los Alamos, either going up or down it. The trail is steep and composed of solid rock for most of it. The climb is a challenge because of (i) the steepness and (ii) nonstop rocks, rock ledges, rock steps, etc...but it's a blast provided your lungs and legs can take the pounding. The descent is also a blast...flying down the same rock ledges you just climbed up. Be careful, though. If you endo, you'll likely land on solid rock.
The trail connects with pipeline road on the upper end a few miles below Guaje Ridge. So, it can be used as a way to get to Guaje, for those who like pain. Recommended Route: Take this up to pipeline, then follow pipeline up to Guaje Ridge for a great epic ride.
You can also take pipeline up to the top TH of Quemazon and then down Quemazon. Pipeline road isn't as steep of an ascent as Quemazon so it's not as painful.

Ridden Trail: Every few months

, from Santa Fe Summary: Ya.. This piece of single-track is beautiful! If the band Motorhead was a trail it could be this one. I can never get enough of this ride, some folks whine about it being a bumpy ride down. Well my advice is to go faster and forget about the bumps and get off on the endorphin induced orgasm! Now that there is no forest left the views are great and there is no shade in the summer.. oh well.. If you have questions about the rides in Los Alamos call DOME and ask for Scott. Recommended Route: Same as the other Recommended routes.. But towards the bottom it forks into a trail called the nature trail.. Killer section to hurt new riders.

, from los alamos nm Summary: For a quick before or after work ride there is not a better loop than up Quemazon and down the Knap trail into Los Alamos Canyon. Then its screaming single track to the resevoir and down the road at an even greater rate of speed to the ice rink. Recommended Route: Sames as listed but if your not going on up to the Guaje ridge trail or upper pipeline then you must return down quemazon. (or pipeline but I'd rather shoot myself). But there is a third option that people seem to overlook The Knap trail into Los Alamos canyon. Other recommended trails in the same area: Pajarito Trail

, from Los Alamos/Abq Summary: As others have said, excellent technical ride! Great way to enhance the skills as well as learning to ride anaerobic. Possible to clean it in the middle chainring on a good day in about 35 minutes. Have fun! Recommended Route: Typical route up the technical trail. When it hits Pipeline Road, continue up!
