The new Pajarito Canyon trail is amazing.  It'll be a NM classic ride in the near future, for sure.  It is absolutely worth checking out.  It's a new trail, but has seen a lot of clean-up in recent weeks.  More improvements are in the works for it too, but it is a ton of fun the way it is now.

Tarik Saleh and I rode the new "Pajarito Mountain Loop" from town this past weekend.  I posted some photos on my FB page, including the top of the Pajarito Canyon Trail drop, and some points further down, plus some pics of the top of Pajarito Mountain, all of which will be included in the Los Alamos Endurofest.  Great mountain biking stuff!

Yeah!

And I heard we get to ride the 7 mile pajarito canyon trail w free shuttle back to the ski area. 
That alone is worth a day of riding!

Come support NM so we can see this exhibition event on the NM Enduro Cup calendar next year.


Cheers,

Los Alamos synonymous with canyons, mesas and mountains will be host to a weekend of Rock ‘n’ Roll! And we’re not just talking awesome bands, but great enduro mountain biking on rockin’ trails. Starting on the 10,440’ crest of Pajarito Ski Hill, roll down Freeride and XC trails, connect to the slick rock singletrack set in the tall ponderosas in the town site 3200’ below, catch the free shuttle and do it all over again!
