Hiking, mountain-bike, and equestrian trails across New Mexico — with difficulty, allowed uses, hazards, land manager, and cultural-protocol guidance.
Point of Rocks in south-central New Mexico is a prominent basalt outcropping that served as a crucial desert landmark for travelers historically navigating the region. The site is open for hiking and horseback riding, and features historic and cultural interest along with interpretive programs. Photography is permitted. A fee applies; contact the field office for current fee details and access information.
White Ridge Bike Trails is a 12-mile mountain biking system managed by the BLM Rio Puerco Field Office, located southwest of San Ysidro in Bernalillo County, New Mexico. Two concentric loops wind across gypsum-rich mesa ridgelines with fast, flowing singletrack, steep climbs, and technical descents featuring approximately 1,000 feet of total elevation gain. Hikers are welcome on all trails; one segment is designated for equestrian use. The site is accessible via Cabezon Road (County Road 906) approximately 4.4 miles from the trailhead; high-clearance vehicles are preferred but the road is passable when dry. No water, toilets, or cell service are available on-site. Primitive dispersed camping is permitted on adjacent BLM lands with a 14-day stay limit.
