Trail is about 12 miles long (24 miles for out and back) and follows the rim of Cochiti Canyon. Good fast ride in pumice with some rocky technical areas and a few short steeps. Great views of Cochiti and Sandia mtn. Will also run into big old growth aspen forest.
The first 1/4 mile of the trail is former single track made parrallel by mudhaters. Ride this for 3 miuntes or so, and come to dirt road, take right on road, ride short ways up hill and turn at second left to single track.
From here on out there will be 3 or 4 other intersections to where the single track crosses (or follows a road for a short while). But the entire trail is single track.
The trail comes out on Fr. 36 - about 3 miles from where you parked your car. Turn right to go back to car - or ride the trail back as a great out and back.
A great trip would be to connect this with Mid Town, Carl Shipman, and climb out of the canyon on the Switchback trail about 1/2 mile from the base of Carl Shipman.
